Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Gas and Coke Service Tricycle Van – 1:76 scale. Manufacturer part number 76TV004. The model represents the British Railways early crest period.

The van is finished in bright red and vanilla cream, with a simple flaming beacon on each side. Masked silver porthole windows are fitted to the rear doors, and the black mud‑guards, chassis and front‑window pillars provide additional relief. It bears the registration FXW 983 and a single lamp mounted above the front wheel.

Originally built in the 1930s, the Tricycle Van remained in general service until the 1950s, carrying gas and coke for railway use. The model is a faithful reproduction of this distinctive liveried vehicle.
