The Dapol Unpainted Box Van Body is a model of a Southern Railway style box van, designed for OO gauge. The model represents a generic box van, rather than a specific example from a particular railway company.

The model is a representation of the workhorse of the early freight industry, with thousands of box vans built over several designs and time periods. Box vans were used to transport general merchandise and perishable goods.

The model is based on the Southern Railway style box van, which featured distinctive vents and a wrap over roof profile. It was a common sight on British railways during the mid-20th century, with many built at the Ashford works during the 1940s.

The model is available as an unpainted body, ready to be painted and attached to a chassis of the modeller's choice. The dimensions of the model are 33mm in width, making it suitable for OO gauge railways.

The box van was a common sight on British railways during the period of the Big Four, with examples continuing in service under British Railways until the 1960s.
