Rapido Trains OO Gauge V6 Metal Van – Caledonian Railway Gunpowder Van No. 34 908022

The Great Western Railway’s V6 ‘Iron Mink’ is one of the most recognisable designs that came out of the Swindon wagon drawing office… and it was a design that came to be adopted by other railway companies and private wagon builders.

 

They would use what was essentially the ‘Iron Mink’ body mounted on underframes and fittings to their own design to create general purpose or gunpowder vans either for their own use or sale to private owner users.
