Manufacturer description

This GNER Driving Van Trailer comes with directional lighting, extra detail accessories and a 21-pin decoder socket so you can fit an HM7000 decoder and speaker, giving it sound options. This DVT is compatible with GNER Mk4 coaches and a GNER Class 91 locomotive.

Following privatisation of Britain’s railways in 1996, the first franchise holder on the East Coast Main Line was GNER – Great North Eastern Railway – which operated the route until December 2007. Trains were normally formed of a Class 91 electric locomotive, nine Mk4 carriages and a DVT (Driving Van Trailer). The DVT design was based on the Class 91 locomotive and boasted a full-width cab and a luggage compartment with space for bicycles and a train manager’s office. Finished in the stylish GNER livery, 82202 no longer exists, having been scrapped once superseded by modern Hitachi ‘Azumas’.
