CR Brake Vans

The Caledonian Railway Brake Vans are a type of goods brake van.

These brake vans are added to the back of a goods train and a guard operates them. Each brake van is equipped with a strong brake to assist with slowing and stopping the train. From here, the guard can keep an eye on the train in case of problems, such as hot axle boxes, or trucks becoming uncoupled while running.

The Railway Series
One of these brake vans was part of a train which brokeaway from it's engine on Gordon's Hill. The Troublesome Trucks had bumped their guard off the brake-van, and left him far behind after he had whistled a warning. The train soon chased Duck down the line. Duck and his crew bravely attempted to take control of the train, but crashed through a barber shop.

Basis
These brake vans are based on the Caledonian Railway's 15T 4-wheeled Brake Vans.

Livery
