ID of Van sought

[andytrains]

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.

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.

Thanks for the information.

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
