bbishop Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Does anyone produce a brass kit of the LSWR 30ft Passenger Brake Van with a central caboose? It has to be buildable in P4. The two Roxey kits are for the side lookout versions. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbishop Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Bill, I've put a message on your website, but I forgot to include the item number. A quick explanation. The LSWR strengthened some of their 6 wheel PBVs to take bullion traffic. Nothing too obvious, extra locks and a "return to Nine Elms or Southampton". There were replaced by the bogie Bullion Vans in 1912. I'm part of the Southwark Bridge team, and we operate a Bullion Van on Southampton trains that is shunted into our bullion dock. There is however a second potential traffic, which is Portal's security paper from Overton to the Bank of England. Our perception this would require secure transport (with a Portal employee in attendance) so a 6 wheel van would travel from Southampton to Overton, to be loaded and attached to the up Parly to Southwark Bridge. After unloading in the dock, it would be loaded with bullion or other security items for transport to Southampton. All our existing PBVs are assigned so an additional one is required, and why not a caboose? I have an extra interest because my usual duty is to shunt the yard.
