Details

Between 1935 & 1936 7,500 12 ton vans were constructed to Diagram D1897, Lots 823,824 & 825 being vacuum fitted whilst Lots 826, 838, 839 and 840 were unfitted. Further similar vehicles were built up to 1945. Many non-fitted Vans were subsequently fitted by BR with automatic vacuum brakes, the pipes however were ‘coach fashion’ and did not have the LMS ‘wagon type’ upright pipe.
