Bachmann 37-904 GWR 12-Ton Shock Van Planked Ends OO
A detailed model of the GWR design shock absorbing box van painted in the GWR goods dark grey livery.
Shock absorbing box vans were fitted with bodies which had some freedom of movement, controlled by springs. This helped damp out sudden shocks caused during shunting, preventing damage to the load inside the van.
