10t Meat Van BR Early Bauxite B870085

British Railways (BR) inherited a wide range of rolling stock upon Nationalisation in 1948, much of which was aging or in need of modern replacement and so a programme to build new vehicles soon commenced. These new vehicles were built to a variety of standardised designs, for covered vans most of the new designs centred around a 10ft wheelbase chassis with a metal and wood body on top. Alongside general merchandise vans, several specialist types were built including the 10 Ton Meat Van which employed a metal chassis whilst the van was constructed from a pair of corrugated metal ends, in the centre of which was a row of four ventilator. The metal body frame was panelled with wooden planks, and further ventilators were fitted either side of the double doors. As the name suggests, the vans were built to transport meat but in later years also found use moving general merchandise.
