We've corrected that omission, with this design of brake van, which has its origins in the batch of ten 20t six-wheeled Goods Brake vans that were ordered by the South Eastern Railway in 1898.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-black-color\"\u003eThe design was outwardly similar to the Midland Railway's six-wheel brakes, featuring an enclosed body and a veranda at one end and a platform at the other. A further 35 were built between 1900 and 1909. The design was modified with a veranda at each end in 1910 and 50 vans to this design were built. When 25 single ended van required overhauls, they were rebuilt to this new design, albeit with detail differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-black-color\"\u003eThese vans were popular with staff. All 90 passed into Southern Railway ownership (where they received the diagram 1558) and, incredibly, BR inherited 86. Withdrawals took place between 1949 and 1960, although a number of vehicles were transferred into Engineers departmental use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-black-color\"\u003eOnly one of these vans survives. It was one of the 1898 batch that was rebuilt in 1910. BR sold it to the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnbrough, Hampshire, where it was bought for preservation on the Kent \u0026amp; East Sussex Railway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSECR(SR Diagram 1558) 20t Brake Van\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSR pre-36 livery (SR brown with red ends and large letters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRebuilt dual veranda condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed underframe with many separately fitted parts\u003cbr\u003eFull interior detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit-spoked wheels running in metal bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM coupler pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eN Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rapido UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40558141341731,"sku":"R942016","price":125.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/rapido-n-scale-secr-wagons-pack-4-br-livery-10t-covered-vans-dia-1426-3pcs-942016-1167687277.jpg?v=1750632373","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/rapido-n-scale-secr-wagons-pack-4-br-livery-10t-covered-vans-dia-1426-3pcs-942016","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
