E87055 LSWR 10T Ventilated Van BR Grey No. S43405
The Diagram 1410 van was the most numerous ventilated van built by the London & South Western Railway (LSWR). Construction began in 1885 and more than 1,000 were built, with various detail differences introduced over the lifetime of the vans. These characterful vehicles feature outside framing, sliding doors and were built with a reduced height when compared with vans built later on. From 1912 the LSWR built further vans to the new Diagram 1406 which were some 7 inches taller than the Diagram 1410, and one such van is the subject of this model. Depicting a van which has survived to Nationalisation, this model sports Lift Link brakes, Panter axle boxes and plain tapered buffers. Later in 1912, the Diagram 1408 van was introduced which featured hinged doors rather than sliding – this allowed the van body to be slightly wider, increasing the payload. Both the Diagram 1410 and 1408 van also feature in the EFE Rail range.

- Pristine BR Grey Livery
