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 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe design was outwardly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esimilar to the Midland Railway’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esix-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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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. Only 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. Our tooling covers both the dual-veranda vans built new in 1910 as well as the single-ended vans rebuilt that year. As with all Rapido models these models feature a high level of detail on the outside, underside and inside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur SECR six-wheel brake boast an impressive spec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSplit-spoked wheels running in metal bearings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNEM coupling pockets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUK designed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigned from original works drawings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rapido UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40075309318179,"sku":"R931001","price":84.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/rapido-uk-931001-oo-secr-6-wheel-brake-van-no-2033-grey-1167677669.webp?v=1750433056","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/rapido-uk-931001-oo-secr-6-wheel-brake-van-no-2033-grey","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
