Based on SE&CR diagram 1087, and SR diagram 1419, with detail added from later SER drawings, this 8'0 wheelbase van was a common sight throughout SER and SE&CR days from the 1860s onwards. Up to a hundred survived into Southern Railway days, many becoming tool vans. Features include: external framing, 4-rib buffers with 14” wooden-padded heads, single push-rod brake and torpedo vents.
