Max Brayne's Festiniog Railway Goods Brake Van

Description: A 5.5mm scale 12mm gauge model of a goods brake van used on the Festiniog Railway. The prototype is one of a few vans that were converted from quarrymans's coaches in the early 1900s when the number of mixed trains started to decline.
The model is a Malcolm Savage Models white metal kit with a separate brass chassis to include the brake detail. It is painted in a dull green as seen on most FR rolling stock when the railway was run by Colonel Stephens in the 1920s.
