GWR ā€˜Iron Minkā€™ Van Dunlop No. 6

GWR ā€˜Iron Minkā€™ Van Dunlop No. 6

Rapido Trains UK unveils more liveries for classic Great Western Railway metal-bodied van.

We should really call our next batch of GWR Dia. V6 ā€˜Iron Minkā€™ as ā€˜Not Quite Minksā€™. Many other railway companies produced metal-bodied vans. These vans shared a family-look with the GWRā€™s ā€˜Iron Minkā€™.Ā Ā These vans often wore often eye-catching liveries. So close were they to the GWRā€™s vans that we are going to apply those liveries to our GWR ā€˜Iron Minkā€™ in order to create some equally eye-catching models.

We will use our suite of ā€˜Iron Minkā€™ parts to get as close to theĀ prototype van as possible but accept that they will not be 100% historically accurate. But weā€™re confident that offering pre-Grouping liveries ready-to-run will negate any slight historical inaccuracies.
Our GWR ā€˜Iron Minksā€™ boast an impressive spec:

  • Three types of door
  • Three types of brake gear
  • NEM coupling pockets
  • UK designed
  • Two types of end ventilator plus plated over
    $37.56
