Manufacturer description

The BR, Stanier Period III Parcels Van, M31137 - Era 4 is another railway coach designed by Sir William Stanier. As one of many locomotives and coaches designed by Stanier, the Period III Parcels Van is smaller than the average coach model; measuring in at 215mm but is still an attractive and pleasing addition to your train collection. The smaller measurements mean that it's an ideal gift for any occasion too!
