Electrotren 226HE1644 HO Gauge Curtain-Sided Ferry Van Leyland Cars Livery
One of a pair of specially commissioned British Leyland liveried curtain sided ferry wagons.
A small fleet of these wagons were operated for British Leyland to transport body panels, engines and other motor vehicle parts between factories. At it's peak the British Leyland group had 46 factories in the UK, plus assembly plants or supplier agreements with France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark & Spain. Many plants specialised in specific components, so these vans were kept busy supplying the assembly lines.
This model is lettered Leyland Cars alongside the company logo. Standard Hornby tension-lock couplers are supplied with each wagon.
