History:
The ‘Toad B’ brake van was introduced by the LNER in 1928 and was based on an earlier North Eastern Railway design with its distinctive boarded side duckets (guard’s look-outs). A total of 260 were built at Doncaster and by BR days could be found all over the former LNER network, though they were soon phased out in favour of more modern versions during the early 1950s.
