SR (Southern Railway)

SR / SECR Dia 1426/1427 Box and Ventilated Van

This is the model for a SECR-designed and SECR/SR-built van to Diagram 1426. Several of these vans were rebuilt with ventilated sides for use on London-Dover-Folkestone fruit traffic, subsequently labelled as Diagram 1427.  This van survived into BR revenue-earning service, and several becoming departmental vans in the black livery.

There were both unfitted and vacuum fitted versions, and a brake cylinder has been provided for the latter. You will need to source vacuum pipes yourself, however!

Please note a few caveats:
