1,000 of these vans were built between 1925 and 1930 to carry ripening bananas from ports to inland warehouses. They were steam heated by means of through pipes from the locomotive. The steam heating equipment was later removed, but the vans lasted into the 1960s. Transfers for LMS and BR. These finely moulded plastic wagon kits come complete with pin point axle wheels and bearings, 3 link couplings and transfers. This kit is supplied with pre-coloured moulded parts although painting can improve the appearance. Additional parts to enable the vehicle to be modelled incorporating modifications made to the prototypes during their working life are included where appropriate.
