Bachmann OO Gauge 37-751E GWR 12T Fruit Van No. 134184 GWR Grey
| 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. Alongside general ventilated vans, Fruit Vans with additional bodyside ventilators were built to transport fruit and this Branchline model depicts one such vehicle, sporting 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. MODEL FEATURES: Bachmann Branchline OO Scale Era 3 Pristine GWR Grey livery Running No. 134184 NEM Coupling Pockets Length 88mm |
