Prototype information

Hornby RailRoad refrigerator van (manufacturer part number R60350) is a OO gauge model representing a short‑wheelbase van from the pre‑grouping period.

The van was originally used for transporting perishable goods such as fruit, meat and fish. Ice was placed inside to keep the cargo cool, and the bodysides were insulated to protect the contents from external temperatures.

The model is finished in white with North Eastern railway markings, reflecting the typical appearance of such refrigerated vans in the era before the railway groupings.
