Peco OO9 GR-221E Southern Railway Lynton & Barnstaple Covered Box Van 47040 Southern Livery

A detailed model of Southern Railway wagon 47040, one of the former Lynton and Barnstaple Railway box vans.

A free running OO9 model featuring plenty of detail with separately fitted brake hangers, brake levers and vacuum pipes.

The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway was well equiped with, by narrow gauge standards, large 4-wheel open wagons and box vans supplied by the Bristol Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. Although small when compared to a mainline box van the size and capacity of these vans proved well suited to the loads and traffic of the North Devon agricultral communities.
Following the merger into the Southern Railway the L&B rolling stock was allocated numbers in the Southerns' numbering series.
