Our 4mm scale models of a Great Northern Railway brake vans are offered in two versions. The version with vertical planking GN04-W002 is a companion model to the brake van with horizontal planking (GN04-W001)
The brake van illustrated with vertical planking was a 20 ton version that replaced earlier vans from the early 1900's onwards. It was given diagram 1602/N and replaced the earlier van with horizontal planking.
The latest D3D kit is a 4mm version of a LNWR 4 compartment coach which was originally made for 7mm scale. As with all our 4mm scale kits so far, this is a "bodyline" kit, the underframe details are left to the modeller. The illustration reflects the livery of the vehicle at the time which was green with light upper panels. The construction takes advantage of the strength of MDF combined with the detail of the card components to give a sturdy result. The model has a detachable roof.
