Product Description
This is an N gauge design which will require the following materials to complete the model
Brake pipes
Buffers
Liveries are either GCR lined passenger brown or GCR freight grey.
You will also need to purchase a chassis which is available separately from the shop.
From Steve Bank's website;
The extended 45' bogie fish vans were introduced in 1903, originally with louvred ventilation and carrying lined passenger livery. A slatted version followed in 1913, conversion of the previous ones to the same format, and a change to goods livery.
Running numbers of the two types were, respectively:
GC.58 30134-50
GC.59 38431-55
With a fleet of 40 bogie fish vans one might have expected them to show up widely in service but this is not the case and few pictures of fish trains, many quite long, show their presence. It has been suggested that they were too large for traffic where vans were rostered for individual fish merchants. Apart from the odd photograph, I have a 1930s observation at Doncaster where one of these vans was transferred from a Hull train to the rear of a King's Cross-Leeds express.
