About this Vehicle:
This model represents the standard, outside framed, covered van used by the GNR. In 1906,the GNR recorded 1563 covered vans. At grouping, 669 covered vans are recorded as surviving into LNER stock. These covered vans were actively constructed from about 1867 (Stirling) until about 1905 (Gresley) when outside framed vehicles were gradually replaced by inside framed stock. Photographic records of wagon stock (RAIL 326/682 and RAIL 326/1072 at the National Archives, UK) depict a number o..

The Great Northern Railway (GNR) built a small number of butter lard and milk vans. Similar vehicles were used for the conveyance of Fruit, meat and fish products. There were detail differences between the vehicles however they were all based on the standard 16ft body and incorporated a clerestory roof which makes them attractive and unusual vehicles.
A few vehicles survived into LNER ownership in 1922.

GWR Milk Van type O2 : This vehicle, designated O2, was a six wheeled Milk or Fish van. The O2 van preceded the related O1 and O3 six wheeled vans. It shared similar features, especially twin double doors on each side. The number of doors was the main visual difference between these vehicles (O2,O3,O1) and the later O4 van which had three double doors on each side. O2 vans had a low single arc roof profile. O2 vans were converted from open carriage trucks. The GWR code name for milk vans was SIPHON.
