Bachmann OO 37-780B BR ex-GWR 12-ton MOGO Box Van BR Bauxite

Among the fleet were specialised vehicles, including vans with the GWR telegraphic code ‘Mogo’ which were designed to carry motor cars and carriages. Mogo vans featured double doors at each end, allowing cars to be loaded and unloaded. The vans could also be used for general merchandise, loaded via their bodyside doors, when not otherwise needed for their intended cargo. This Branchline model depicts one such ‘Mogo’, sporting an accurate bodyshell with fine plank engraving and further moulded detail. The chassis employs metal wheelsets of the 3-hole disc variety, whilst the brakes, brake handles and associated gear is all included. At either end metal buffer heads are fitted and the bufferbeam is completed with cosmetic coupling hooks. The simple but distinctive livery is applied using accurate colours and typefaces to produce a van fit for any OO scale model railway.

Britain’s railways were developed primarily to move freight and the early railway companies employed vans of many different designs to transport goods and merchandise that required covered transport. Each railway company had its own designs, and the Great Western Railway was no different, with most of its vans utilising a 10ft wheelbase with a 12T capacity. Many of the GWR’s vans employed a wooden planked body, mounted on a metal chassis, and vacuum brakes were widely fitted; all characteristics portrayed by this Bachmann Branchline model.
