Northern Fine Scale Gauge 1 Vans are typical of the wooden
construction equipment in use in Britain both before and after World War II.
We supply both an LNER 12-ton Van, wood-underframed, with a 9-foot
wheelbase, and the LNER Ventilated Fruit Van version of this vehicle.
The latter model is equipped with louvred ends and roof vents. Both
types of van were built in large numbers and operated throughout the UK
from the 1920's well into the 1960's.
The body components of these models are precision injection moulded
in high impact polystyrene, the underframe is our standard unit.
The wheel options are: our classic split-spoke design, the more recent
straight-spoke, or the solid 3-hole pattern.
All wheel pairs are
electrically insulated and fully 2-rail compatible. They are mounted on a
steel (plastic sleeved) tapered axle.
These highly detailed models are designed to meet the rigours of outdoor running. Supplied fully assembled, painted, and "ready-to-run", they are also available as complete and easily built kits including transfers (Decals).
