In 1979 British Rail ordered 236 Mk3a sleeper carriages to replace an ageing fleet of Mark 1 sleeper cars that were built to various designs and which dated from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. This order was later reduced to 207 carriages. East Coast sleeper services between London and Scotland ceased in May 1988 but the sleeper services on the WCML from Euston remained. Mk3 sleeper vehicles remain in use on the Great Western Railway Night Riviera from London Paddington to Penzance.

In 1974 the Victorian Railways trialled several WAGR 20' cattle containers, this trial was deemed successful and the Railways placed an order for 50 MC Cattle containers with Loadmaster at Woodend. The versatility of this design meant the cattle containers could be loaded individually onto four wheeled flat wagons like KQ and KMQ or loaded in threes on longer FQF bogie flat wagons.

Later in April 1987 30 MC containers were transferred to NSW for livestock traffic. Ironically they were initially placed onto NQSF container wagons which were converted from bogie sheep wagon underframes. See the photographs below of some NSW working.

Photos shown are representative of the finished model. Numbers and colours may vary on final product.

During the 1950s/1960s, European freight traffic was transported in long-wheelbase van wagons that featured larger sliding doors, sliding side vents and air brakes. It was common for BR van wagons to incorporate a 10ft wheelbase and have a capacity of a 12-ton load. Only specialist wagons were used by BR to carry goods as part of the cross-channel fleet that could operate on train ferries.

To keep up with the competition of European freight traffic, BR designed an improved ferry van to Dia. 1/227. These improvements included a large sliding door on each side, capacity for a 20-ton load, four sliding vents on each side and both air and vacuum brakes. Over headstocks, the van was nearly 42ft long, and the wheelbase came to a jaw-droppingly large 26ft 3in wheelbase. Between 1962 and 1964, Pressed Steel constructed a total of 400 vehicles for cross-channel freight traffic.

The introduction of bogie vehicles in the 1970s and 1980s for cross-channel traffic superseded the need for ferry vans. They were utilised for other duties such as departmental, barrier vehicles and domestic goods traffic with VBA and VDA vans. 

BR coded these ferry vans as VIX under the TOPs system. In 2018, three ex-Fastline ferry vans were the final ones in service and were craned out of Peterborough yard to be transported away via the road. Several VIX ferry vans are preserved and can be found at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Peak Rail, the Eden Valley, the Spa Valley and West Somerset Railways.

The VIX ferry van is finished in an eye-catching BR Railfreight red and grey livery. The hook couplings enable easier coupling of other rolling stock and locomotives on your layout. It features sliding doors.

At the start of the 1930s the LMS abandoned the ‘Small Engine Policy that it had inherited from one of its largest predecessors, the Midland Railway. The abandoning of this policy led to some of the most famous Stanier and LMS designs such as the Jubilee, Black 5 and Duchess classes. To accompany this shift in ethos, new coaches were constructed for the LMS, with the 57’ coaches being built between 1931 and 1932.

These new coaches were steel clad, the first such for the LMS and had seating for 56, 300 such examples were built. In LMS service these coaches were painted in their striking maroon livery with LMS insignia adorning the side. The coaches, being relatively new at the time of nationalisation lasted well into the swansong days of BR, appearing in both its carmine and cream livery and later BR Maroon when BR decided to shift aesthetics back to regional recognition.
