Details

Rail Express Services (RES) was the British Rail sector responsible for transporting mail and parcels, including the Travelling Post Office (TPO). General Utility Vans (GUVs) were widely used for mail and parcel transport, and some were adapted as newspaper vans.

These vans were part of the BR Mk1 coach family, with 907 examples built between 1956 and 1960 at York, Doncaster, and Glasgow works, and additional units produced under contract by Pressed Steel Company Ltd, Cowley. With a carrying capacity of 13.8 tons (14 tonnes), these multi-door bogie vans were highly versatile, with some even converted to carry motor vehicles. Many remained in service with train operating companies, and others continue to operate on heritage railways.

This RailRoad RES Mk1 Super GUV model coach is a durable, highly detailed replica, perfect for enhancing your model railway collection.
