Britain’s railways were developed primarily to move freight and the early railway companies employed vans of many different designs to transport goods and merchandise that required covered transport. Each railway company had its own designs, and the Great Western Railway was no different, with most of its vans utilising a 10ft wheelbase with a 12T capacity. Many of the GWR’s vans employed a wooden planked body, mounted on a metal chassis, and vacuum brakes were widely fitted; all characteristics portrayed by this Bachmann Branchline model.

Depicting a ‘Parto’ van, which was fitted with internal partitions to help secure loads and protect them from damage in transit, this Branchline model features an accurate bodyshell with fine plank engraving and further moulded detail. The chassis employs metal wheelsets of the 3-hole disc variety, whilst the brakes, brake handles and associated gear is all included. At either end metal buffer heads are fitted and the bufferbeam is completed with cosmetic coupling hooks. The simple but distinctive livery is applied using accurate colours and typefaces to produce a van fit for any OO scale model railway.
