Manufacturer description

Iron Mink Van in BR Freight Grey No.W47120

Rails is leading the way and innovating for model enthusiasts. These models have been researched, designed and produced solely in the UK.

Manufactured using new cutting-edge technologies featuring:

• A new, ultra high resolution, super strong aeronautical grade PU with a design life exceeding 25 years.
• A build process using the very latest light technology and is infinitely flexible for making all variants.
• Low volume production potential for niche, products previously not capable of being produced economically for RTR.

Rails aim to fill the need for niche products, which simply would not justify a large production run. As they are produced in limited quantities, these vans are priced slightly higher than mass produced items, however, we feel the price reflects fantastic value for such distinctive models.

A tremendous amount of research and development has been put into this project to ensure accuracy and true replication has been achieved.

Catalogue listing

Rails Iron Mink Van in BR Freight Grey No. W47120 is a limited‑edition model produced by Rails. It carries the manufacturer part number BRV6‑001 and represents the British Railways Early Crest period. The van is exclusive to the Rails range.

The model is designed and manufactured wholly in the United Kingdom. It is constructed from a new ultra‑high‑resolution, super‑strong aeronautical‑grade polyurethane that is rated for a design life of more than 25 years. Production employs the latest light‑technology processes, allowing infinite flexibility for creating variants, and is suited to low‑volume runs that would not be economical for mass‑produced items.

As a niche product produced in limited quantities, the van is priced slightly above mass‑produced models, reflecting its specialised nature and the cost of bespoke manufacturing. Rails describe the price as offering excellent value for a distinctive, highly detailed replica.

Extensive research and development has been undertaken to ensure the model achieves accurate replication of the original van, meeting the expectations of model enthusiasts.
