W&LLR Brake Vans

The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway Brake Vans are a standard type of goods brake van.

These are added to the back of a goods train and a guard rides in it. Each brake van is equipped with a strong brake to assist with slowing and stopping the train. From here, the guard can keep an eye on the train in case of problems, such as hot axle boxes, or trucks becoming uncoupled while running.

Thomas & Friends
These brake vans are commonly seen on the back of goods and freight trains.

A brake van was once used for Stanley's train of flatbeds. According a spooky story told Salty, the train mysteriously uncoupled itself from their engine on a hill and, to this day, the train roams the island whistling and wailing, looking for an engine to couple up to.

Rocky, once had to lift one of these brake van back onto the rails, before being quickly shunted away by James. .

Basis
These brake vans are based on the narrow gauge Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway vans. In the television series, they are scaled up to standard gauge (albeit still carrying narrow gauge "chopper"-type couplings and lacking buffers).

Livery
These brakevans are commonly painted grey, although a brown variant has been seen in Season 16.
