Rails of Sheffield Exclusive

SECR Single Veranda Six Wheel Brake Van.

SECR Grey with black underframe metalwork, numbered 12067

History

In 1898 the South Eastern Railway ordered a batch of 20 ton 6 Wheeled Goods Brake Vans. These first 10 vans were outwardly similar to the Midland railway 6 wheel brakes featuring an enclosed body and a veranda on one end with a plat- form on the other.

A further 25 vans were built to this design between 1900 and 1909. During this time the wagons carried SER dark red/brown livery, and SECR lead grey with lettering on the main bodyside. It is known that the SECR did not like to re- paint vehicles if it could be avoided and it is believed the SER livery continued in use well into the SECR era.

From 1910 a further 55 vans were built this time featuring verandas on each end and some minor differences. The original 25 vans were rebuilt in a similar style (except with different ends) when they were due for overhaul after 1910.

Rapido SECR Single Veranda 6‑Wheel Brake Van – SECR Grey No 12067 is a limited‑edition model from the Rails of Sheffield exclusive range. It carries the manufacturer part number 931013 and represents the pre‑grouping era of British railway rolling stock.

The model depicts a South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) single‑veranda brake van, finished in SECR grey with black underframe metalwork and bearing the fleet number 12067. It is a six‑wheel, 20‑ton goods brake van with an enclosed body, a veranda at one end and a platform at the opposite end.

Historically, the original vans were ordered by the South Eastern Railway in 1898, with the first ten built to a design similar to the Midland Railway’s six‑wheel brakes. A further twenty‑five were constructed between 1900 and 1909, initially carrying the SER dark red‑brown livery which often survived into the SECR period. From 1910 another fifty‑five vans were produced featuring verandas on both ends, and the earlier twenty‑five were rebuilt in a comparable style after their overhaul.
