Manufacturer description

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.

The Dapol Box Van GWR 144850 is an OO gauge model measuring 82 mm in length, 33 mm in width and 48 mm in height. It is reproduced in the GWR grey livery with a weathered finish and has a four‑wheel arrangement. The model represents a Southern Railway style box van built between 1936 and 1938 by various builders, and it depicts the period of the Big Four railways (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). Historically, such vans were a staple of early freight traffic, used for general merchandise and perishable goods, with many constructed at Ashford during the Second World War and later operated by GWR, LMS and, after nationalisation, BR into the 1960s.

Key features of the Dapol model include highly detailed body moulding, profiled wheels, NEM pockets with self‑centring couplings and an accurately applied livery. The manufacturer part number is 4F‑021‑026.
