SECR "Dance Hall" Brake Van Kit (D1560) - includes parts for ballast brake riding van - OO unpainted plastic kit
Require glue, paint, transfers, couplings, wheels (Gibson 12mm & brass bearings) to complete.
Alan Gibson Wheels compatible : 12mm 10 spoked, 12mm 3-hole
Built from 1923-26.
The kit could be modified to represent the earlier 1921-built vans of D1559. There are extra parts to allow the Departmental "Ballast Brake Van" conversion of 10 vans in 1953 to be built (with one verandah boxed in).
Several of these vans were air-piped and survived until the 1990s. The last survivors were ZPO DS55466, ZXW DS55476 (BBV), ZXV DS55493 (BBV), ZTO DS55509, ZTO DS55512
