your Christmas fairy tale comes true

33-309A GWR 20T 'Toad' Brake Van GWR Grey 114971 option-set-w-wagon-1 Smooth and powerful mechanismBrake Vans were once essential parts of any goods train and each railway company had its own designs, but perhaps none were as iconic and widely recognised as the Great Western Railways (GWR) Toad Brake Van. Found across the GWR network from the late 1800s and into BR ownership serving the Western Region and beyond, the Toad provided guards with a spacious cabin and large veranda at one end giving this classic GWR design its distinctive appearance.
