Tref’s G1MRA Anniversary Brake Van Project was  a van to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of G1MRA, with a contribution from the 3d Printing Circle.

It is intended to be easily printed and assembled on the majority of FDM printers.

It is based on one specific prototype, details of which can be found here: https://www.northdorsetrailway.co.uk/files/images/12%20Wagons/Brakevan/BV%20Restoration%20Blog%20Jan%202022.pdf

But to summarise: BR Standard Brake Van No. B950885, built at Faverdale, in Darlington in 1950.

It is currently modelled close to "as built" but may see later updates, as the prototype did, to include vacuum braking.

28/12/23 - Added a couple of alternative wheelsets, G1MRA standard and fine, with a different axle split arrangement - no glue required! Currently as a Beta release. Also revised the photo - spot the missing handrail and wrong colour lamp irons!
