Manufacturer description
A General Utility Van (GUV) is a type of rail vehicle built by British Rail primarily for transporting mail and parcels. They were used by both Rail Express Systems and Railtrack. Colas Rail and some train operating companies still use them. One incredibly popular product for millions of people are the daily newspapers. Purely dedicated to their transport, this model BR Newspaper Van is ideal for emulating the goods of the busy day, and the movement of very specific goods across the British railways.
