andytrains Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I bought this van secondhand recently and I am unsure of what company built it, in railway terms. The sides look like they could be GWR, but the ends are a mystery. It is 9ft wheelbase and is fitted. I think it may be a D&S kit, but I am not sure. So I am seeking the ID of Van. (Photos below). Sorry about the quality of the pictures. Thanks. Andy. Edited October 7, 2017 by andytrains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim.snowdon Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 It is a model of the GWR Dia. Y7 Banana Van. Not, I suspect, from the D&S stable, as late GWR goods stock was never Danny Pinnock's sphere of interest. What is more likely is that it is from a DJB kit. Their GWR goods vans ended up with ABS and are now effectively unavailable. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted October 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Nice little model. If it's a banana van it needs steam heating pipes and bags. The GW was a major conveyor of the bendy things, imported through Avonmouth Docks and also Barry in the WR period Edited October 7, 2017 by The Johnster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
