Brake Vans (RWS)

The brake van is an important part of every goods train.

A brake van is added to the back of a goods train and a guards rides in it. 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.

Trivia

 * To date, only three brake vans have been named: Beatrice, Cora and Toad. They, along with the Spiteful Brake Van are so far the only known brake vans to have faces. A brake van with a face appeared in the Railway Series pop-up book, James the Red Engine and the Troublesome Trucks.
 * Part of the Motor Road and Rail/TrackMaster toys were repainted from JNR 5000 series vans.
