Production Details:
Hornby LMS Brake Van 730071. Until 1968, fully
fitted freight trains were required by law to carry a brake van at the
end. The brake van helped to slow the train and acted as a space for the
train guard to carry out additional duties such as paperwork. As a
result, most brake vans featured a stove and desk on top of the brake
apparatus. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) built 2653
20-ton brake vans between 1933 and 1947. These featured a wooden
structure that spanned most of the frame, with open covered areas at
either end to provide the guard with an excellent view of the train.
