Description
R40360 Hornby BR Departmental, 6 Wheel Tool Van – Era 7
This 6 Wheeled Coach is a representation of the many small coaches which survived into British Railway ownership. Small coaches such as these proved especially adept at branch line work, where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, the ability to be hauled by smaller engines, and they were more acceptable to lower passenger numbers. The Tool Van served as a vital addition to many trains, carrying the important tools required for proper maintenance and repair.
