PROTOTYPE. These vans were a sliding door development of a NER design built by the LNER. They had louvered sides and ends to create a through flow of air to keep the perishable goods such as fruit and vegetables in good condition. This traffic was moved with the utmost haste and the vans had vacuum brake and steam pipes to enable them to run in passenger trains.

  KIT. Construction is very straightforward. The sliding doors are white metal castings and a pre-formed brass roof is supplied.
