Bachmann Branchline 39-271D OO Gauge BR Mk1 GUV General Utility Van Maroon Livery
An excellent model of the BR General Utility Van or GUV. These vans were designed for loading through side or end doors, allowing a wide range of cargos to be accomodated, from bagged mail to motor vehicles.
This coach carries the red livery of RES, Rail Express Systems. This was a network service introduced in the mid-1980s for express mail and parcels service. Many of these vans carry this livery today, though few remain in service.
