We are pleased to add the GWR Y4 banana vans to our OO gauge wagon range!
This video explains a bit about the prototype and the details that have gone into making these models.
The order book is now open so get on down to the banana van page on our website:
rapidotrains.co.uk/gwr-banana-van-y4/

A small clarification is required - the strawing and weighing process was done on the move without stopping the wagons, but the vans were stationary while bananas were loaded, and moved by capstan in groups of approximately 15 wagons.
The loading process continued from 7am to 10pm without breaks.

Please note that the artwork renders are not final and are subject to change.
