Description
A finely-moulded plastic kit for a Great Western Railway four-wheel horsebox van (Diagram N13), in OO scale, from PECO's Parkside range. Around 300 of these were built by the GWR through the 1920s — many lasted into the 1950s and 60s, seen throughout Britain carrying racehorses to racecourses and stables, marshalled in passenger or parcels trains rather than goods consists.
