Manufacturer description

Gunpowder vans were especially constructed vans designed for the safer transport of gunpowder and other potentially explosive substances. In the 1920’s the RCH laid down rules and standards governing the running and construction of these vans and these rules were enforced relatively unchanged until the early 1980’s when gunpowder vans were decommissioned. The vans were often painted in distinguishing colours or with crosses to identify the wagons and the potential dangers.

The Dapol model the gunpowder van features:

• Highly detailed body moulding

• Profiled wheels

• NEM pockets with self centring couplings

• Accurately applied livery

Dapol Gunpowder Van LMS Grey 7004 Vs. 2 is an OO gauge model measuring 82 mm long, 33 mm wide and 44 mm high. The van is painted in LMS grey livery and has a four‑wheel arrangement. It carries the Railway Clearing House (RCH) markings for GWR, LNER, LMS and British Railways and represents the period of the Big Four railway companies. The model is supplied by Dapol with part number 4F‑013‑019 and depicts a van built in the 1930s.

Gunpowder vans were specially constructed to transport gunpowder and other explosive material safely. In the 1920s the RCH introduced rules governing their construction and operation, which remained largely unchanged until the early 1980s when such vans were withdrawn from service. The wagons were usually painted in distinctive colours or marked with crosses to indicate the hazards they carried.

The Dapol replica includes highly detailed body moulding, profiled wheels, NEM pockets with self‑centering couplings and accurately applied livery.
