Slaters Plastikard O Gauge 7065 BR Ventilated Meat Van Kit
This kit builds a detailed model of the BR meat van variant of the standard box van design diagram 1/250.
The distinctive covered meat van with its column of end bonnet vents and additional side louvre ventilators is a useful variation on the standard BR box van.
Supplied with metal wheels, 3 link couplings and sprung buffers
Initially painted in full passenger livery in later years the vans were used in normal goods service alongside the standard ventilated vans. The extra vents were usually blanked off internally, so many vans retained their original appearance and often passenger livery, albeit hidden beneath a layer of grime, for many years.
