Catalogue listing

Oxford GER 10‑tonne cattle van, catalogue number 626586, is a model of a Great Eastern Railway (GER) livestock van that later operated under the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) after 1936. The model carries the manufacturer reference OR76GEC003 and is marketed as representing the period of the British “Big Four” railway companies – LNER, LMS, GWR and SR.

Eight hundred of the original vans were built by the GER between 1900 and 1909. They were primarily used to transport cattle and other livestock to and from farms in East Anglia, although photographic evidence shows some units travelling as far north as Scotland and as far south‑west as the West Country.

The replica is intended for railway modelling and reflects the external appearance and dimensions of the historic 10‑tonne cattle vans that served British railways in the early twentieth century.
