History:
Under BR, these LMS design 20-ton brake vans were turned-out in a plain brown livery with the vehicle number, weight and other details picked out in white on the body sides. Measuring 24ft-long, with a wheelbase of 16ft, the design was so successful that BR continued to build them, this example being one of the later examples, of which 1,320 were built by BR between 1949 and 1950.
