Parkside Kits O Gauge PS103 SR 25 Ton Goods Brake Van diagram 1579

A well designed model kit of the Southern Railway brake van with its distinctive short central cabin. Construction of this type of van began in 1929 with a number of variants being produced including batches for the War Department during WW2. After Nationalisation the Southern vans migrated to many other parts of the country with examples turning up in the North East. Most were withdrawn through the 1960s as freight train operations moved towards bulk trainload services reducing the numbers of trains and brake vans needed. The last examples were withdrawn from engineering service in the early to mid 1980s, with many going to heritage railways. Kit supplied with SR and BR transfers.
Supplied with metal wheels and 3 link couplings.
