This Steam And Things kit is for a 6-wheel "Improved Standard" Luggage Van of 1854-1856 that was listed under passenger stock with about thirteen built by two builders for the GWR. They were all condemned / scrapped between about the late 1870s and late 1880s.

They were 27 foot 3 inches long and had three compartments and a guard's area. The grease axle boxes held splayed ten spoke wheels of four foot diameter.

This is a body kit ONLY , but we have also supplied W-irons to BGS specification. At present the kit is only available in 4mm scale, but 7mm is certainly a possibility, subject to firm orders.

  • Axle gaurds to BGS specification are supplied
