An excellent model of the Great Western's distinctive Toad goods brake van with it's single large veranda. Painted in the Great Western dark grey goods livery the van carries Didcot as it's allocation. Set at the junction of the Oxford/Birmingham and Bristol/South Wales/South West routes Didcot remains a major centre for the rail freight businesses today, In GWR days the depot and goods yard here also sent goods for export to continental Europe and beyond over the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton route.
