This 7mm scale ("O" gauge) kit is primarily made from laser cut and etched MDF with 3D printed roof and underframe components. This kit can be completed to represent any one of several versions of a standard type used by the Great Northern Railway.
The prototype brake vans have been described in books (e.g. 19th Century Railway Drawings by A. Prior, and LNER Wagons by P. Tatlow). The brake vans have also been described in the model railway press (Especially an article in "Model Railway News" December 1967). A representative model will enhance any model railway based on the GNR or its former geographical area.
The GNR had several types of brake van. The brake van type that this model is based on, with horizontal planking, was made in 10 ton, 15 ton and 20 ton versions. The physical dimensions overall were the same, however one version had six wheels.
