8T Cattle Van

Diagram 1/353 8T Cattle wagon, built by British Railways in 1949. Based on a GWR design, only 1200 were built before it became clear that cattle traffic was being lost to road transport.

Animated brake gear

The brake gear mirrors the handbrake state of the vehicle

The pictures show the handbrake on and off

Working vac pipes and screw couplings
