In 1904, 200 V4 vans were built, as an experiment the V4's were built as two separate lots, the first with a roof height of 7ft 6 1/2 ins and the second with a roof height of 8ft 0 1/2 ins.
It is the second van that the subject of this kit.
The standard roof to be adopted for future construction was the lower of the two 7ft 6ins.
This makes the V4 in this kit stand a little higher than the normal van and will add visual interest and variety to any G.W.R. train.
This kit contains transfers, steel ballast weight and pinpoint bearings plastic wheelsets. Tension lock couplings are provided, a are bases for fitting Peco Magni-Simplex couplings, three link couplings can also be fitted.
Metal wheels with 2mm brass bearings may be substituted if desired.
