GWR 13 Ton Toad Brake Van Diagram AA7 |
||||||||||||
PROTOTYPE. Twelve of these short wheelbase vans were built in 1898 originally for working in the London area and stationed at Acton. They were 9ft wheelbase and 16ft over headstocks. |
|||||||||||||
It can only be assumed that space for headshunts and sidings was at such a premium in the Metropolis that such a short brake van was required to fit into them. A situation that is familiar to many of us on our own layouts. These vans lasted into BR days. KIT. Construction is very straightforward, but there is a lot of push-out rivet detail, which can take some time to form. A pre-rolled brass roof is provided, as is straight brass wire for the handrails. The fit of all parts is very good. |
