BR 12 Ton Vans

BR 12 ton vans are rolling stock used for transporting goods and materials throughout the railways, such as the North Western Railway.

Biography

The Railway Series

One of these vans were at Brendam Docks where Bill and Ben were working. ^[1]

Five of these vans were once part of James' early morning goods train. He was unhappy about shunting trucks and struggled pulling the train up steep gradients. ^[2]

Personality

Their official merchandise bios describe these vans as happy and silly.

Technical Details

Basis

Trivia

The BR 12 ton vans resemble the LNER 12 Ton Vans and LMS 12 Ton Vans.
The Ertl Character Card of the BR 12 ton vans says that they were pulled by James on a windy, stormy night, whereas they were actually pulled by Henry, since it references the fifth series episode, Haunted Henry.
