Box Vans were the workhorses of the early freight industry moving general merchandise and perishable goods and thousands were built over several designs and over a large time period. The Southern Railway style box van as modelled by Dapol had distinctive vents and a wrap over roof profile. It was built at Ashford during the years of the World War II and vans were sold to other rail operators such as GWR and LMS. The wagon continued into service into the 1960’s under BR.

Dapol Box Van BR 753832 Weathered is a OO gauge model measuring 82 mm in length, 33 mm in width and 48 mm in height. It carries the British Railways grey livery in a weathered finish, has a four‑wheel arrangement and bears the manufacturer part number 4F‑021‑022. The model represents a Southern Railway style box van built by various builders between 1936 and 1938, covering the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).
Box vans were a staple of early freight traffic, handling general merchandise and perishable goods. The Southern Railway version modelled by Dapol features distinctive vents and a wrap‑over roof profile. Although originally constructed at Ashford during the years of the Second World War, similar vans were also supplied to the GWR and LMS and remained in service with British Railways into the 1960s.
The Dapol model includes highly detailed body moulding, profiled wheels, NEM pockets with self‑centering couplings and an accurately applied livery.
