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.

Rails Iron Mink Van in GWR Grey (1937 Livery) No. 88331 is a limited‑edition model released by Rails of Sheffield. The item carries the manufacturer part number GWV6‑004 and depicts a British Railways early‑crest vehicle from the 1930s period.

The model is exclusive to the Rails range and is produced entirely in the United Kingdom. It is built in low volumes to cater for niche collectors, which results in a price that is modestly above that of mass‑produced alternatives.

Construction uses an ultra‑high‑resolution, aeronautical‑grade polyurethane that is described as super‑strong and capable of a design life exceeding 25 years. The build process incorporates the latest light‑technology methods, providing flexibility for the creation of multiple variants.

Rails states that extensive research and development has been undertaken to achieve accurate replication of the original van, positioning the product as a specialised offering for enthusiasts seeking a high‑detail, limited‑run model.
