Slaters Plastikard O Gauge 7043 SE&CR 6 Wheel Guards Brake Van Kit

These 6 wheeled 20 ton brake vans were built from the late 1890s as the weight of goods trains increased, needing a heavier brake van for the guard to control them. The Southern retained these brake vans in service with many lasting through WW2 before withdraw commenced with the post-war reduction of goods traffic. Many entered British Railways service at nationalisation, being withdrawn in BR livery through the 1950s.

At least one withdrawn SECR brake van was sold for industrial use, Number 55371 being used by the Royal Aircraft Establishment on their private line passing through the streets of Farnborough until the need to bring coal into the airfield site finished in 1965. Following this closure the van was purchased by the Kent and East Sussex heritage railway.
