Built for use on the extensive network of 2ft/600mm narrow gauge lines which served the trenches of WW1 the vans were intended to provide for delivery of supplies and evacuation of casualties. The tall vans proved unsuitable for use over the uneven and often temporary track of the front lines, so were mostly confined to rear areas and workshops. The vans proved far more successful after the war on more permanent narrow gauge railways and tramways, including farm and estate railways. However the short haul distances of many of these lines mitigated against the use of vans, open wagons being quicker and easier to load, unload and cover with a tarpaulin for the journey in inclement weather. A number have survived, often as stores vans, to be purchased for preservation, where they make useful stores vans!
