HORNBY: Following the closure of the Canadian Hornby importer in 2023 we have contacted Hornby numerous times to secure continued supply of Hornby products to supply our Canadian customers. Unfortunately Hornby steadfastly refuse to communicate with us. Regretfully we have concluded that Hornby has no desire to support the Canadian market. As stocks of Hornby products are exhausted we are replacing these products with products from other manufacturers.

Toad Brake Van - BR 6 Wheel Plated (Bordesley Junction) no. W56955

Introduced in 1900, the only 6 wheel Brakes built by the GWR.

These are coded AA1 and were braked on all wheels. Suited for 22 tons - or later 24 tons. They were ideal for the heavy coal trains operated over parts of the network in that period.

Later the lower planking on the bodies was covered by metal sheathing - our model will reproduce both Planked and Plated variants.

Many vehicles survived through to BR days and were not withdrawn until the 1950's.
