Branchline GWR 20T 'Toad' Brake Van BR Bauxite (Early) OO Gauge

Branchline GWR 20T 'Toad' Brake Van BR Bauxite (Early) OO Gauge Brake Vans were once essential parts of any goods train and each railway company had its own designs, but perhaps none were as iconic and widely recognised as the Great Western Railway’s (GWR) ‘Toad’ Brake Van. Found across the GWR network from the late 1800s and into BR ownership serving the Western Region and beyond, the ‘Toad’ provided guards with a spacious cabin and large veranda at one end giving this classic GWR design its distinctive appearance. The Bachmann Branchline ‘Toad’ features an injection moulded bodyshell with plank detail alongside representations of the bodyside handrails and lamp brackets that were fixed to each side and end. The handbrake wheel sits prominently inside the open sided veranda, joined by two sandboxes, whilst below the solebar footboards are fitted separately, and metal spoked wheelsets are employed to provide smooth running. The livery application is to the high standard associated you’ve come to expect from a Bachmann Branchline model, making this ‘Toad’ a perfect addition to any goods wagon fleet.   MODEL FEATURES: Bachmann Branchline OO Scale Era 4 Pristine BR Bauxite (Early) livery Running No. W17416 NEM Coupling Pockets Length 112mm
