Bachmann OO Gauge 37-540 BR 20T Brake Van Rail Express System

The BR Standard 20 Ton Brake Van is a classic vehicle and a must for any freight collection or goods yard scene. A mandatory requirement as part of all goods trains until 1968, and in use well into the 1980s with unfitted trains and other selected services, the brake van provided braking facilities and offered the Guard a refuge from the elements in which to stay warm and dry, whilst observing operations via the end windows or side duckets.

The Bachmann Branchline 20T Brake Van has long been the model of choice to bring up the rear of many a goods train and it’s easy to see why this model is still a firm favourite. Capturing the character of the prototype, the Branchline model is adorned with separate handrails, roof vents – which on this example are of the oval torpedo variety – and lamp brackets. The footboards are also separately fitted, allowing different lengths to be modelled to suit the van being modelled – in this case long footboards are present.  This particular brake van also carries end weights, is fitted with end handrails and has planked sides. The ends and veranda partitions are both flush, whilst the cabin doors have four windowpanes each.
