5" SR Brake Van

Here we have a very unusual 5" gauge Southern railway continental Wagon Lit London-Paris Guards Van.  They were either painted blue or dark green and used on the Golden Arrow services and the Night ferry trains from London to Dover, and a usual train was made up of perhaps six sleeping cars with three or four special luggage vans and one of these special brake vans.  It's a really nice model, with loads of scale detailing.  Cosmetically it's a little on the scruffy side here n there through use at GL5 running events, and we found that it tended to bob a little on one end, which we remedied with a lump of metal inside to give it a little weight and stability.  It's a unique model as far as we are aware.

As with most of our models, what you see isn't necessarily what you get!

We often photograph models pretty much as they come in to us, and then when someone phones to say they are interested we pull the model into our workshops and make sure everything is tested, sorted and ready to go.  So if you see the odd model photograph with a fitting missing or a return crank in the wrong place, that's just how it came in and certainly not how it will leave.

For any more information please don't hesitate to give us a bell on 07816 963463
