Manufacturer description

As the newly formed London & North Eastern Railway's older, pre-grouping type of brake vans reached the end of their working lives, a program of renewal was put in place. An outstanding ten ton North Eastern design was completed during 1923 but the first new design, coming in 1924, was a nineteen foot, twenty ton brake van that took the best features from the former Great Northern and North East Railway types.

Prototype information

Hornby LNER Dia.064 'Toad E' Brake Van, model number 162007, is a OO gauge replica of a LNER brake van from the early post‑grouping period. The kit is supplied fully painted in LNER brown livery and measures 90 mm in length, representing a nineteen‑foot, twenty‑ton vehicle.

The model carries the running number 162007 and uses a NEM coupling. It is classified as a brake van and is intended to represent the type introduced by the London & North Eastern Railway in 1924 as part of a renewal programme for pre‑grouping brake vans. The design reflects the characteristics of the earlier North Eastern model, itself derived from the former Great Northern and North Eastern Railway types.

The product is marketed for the period known as the Big Four (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR) and is supplied with the manufacturer part number R6923. The finish is painted, and the colour specified is brown.
