R60289 Hornby BR Brake Van Southern Region 950792
by Hornby
Product Info
Until 1968, fully fitted freight trains were required by law to carry a brake van at the end. The brake van provided brake functionality to help slow the train and acted as a space where the train guard could carry out additional duties such as paperwork. As a result, most brake vans featured a stove and desk on top of the brake apparatus. This example of a British Rail brake van for the Southern Region comes in brown.
