The Kernow Model Rail Centre have today announced that they have commissioned DJ Models to produce the LSWR 10T Diagram 1541 Road Van in OO Gauge as an exclusive model with the tooling owned by Kernow Model Rail Centre.
No. 56046 that was scanned on the Isle of Wight Railway
First introduced in 1886 they were later classed as SR Diagram 1541. Almost 500 of these were built between then and 1905 making them the most numerous LSWR Goods Brake Van. Brake Vans with side doors through which parcels or other goods could be loaded were known as road vans.
The CAD for this model is virtually complete
The prototype was laser scanned at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway at the same time that they scanned the ex LWSR Adams O2 Class locomotive.
I have been working with Kernow Model Rail Centre for a while now on the research and development of this model.
The latest cads, seen left, are almost complete with just a few very minor tweaks required before tooling can commence.
A further CAD view
The model joins their growing portfolio of LSWR models and will be ideal for use with their ex LSWR Adams O2 Class locomotive as they will be producing mainland and Isle of Wight numbered vehicles.
The models will be £24.99 each and no deposits are required.
