Farish 378-028A SE&CR 25T 'Dance Hall' Brake Van BR Olive Green - N Gauge

We are excited to present this brand new model of the SE&CR 25 Ton ‘Dance Hall’ Brake Van as part of the Farish range.

Never before available in N scale, this Farish model depicts the South Eastern and Chatham Railway’s (SE&CR) 25 Ton Goods Brake which became known as the ‘Dance Halls’ owing to the spacious cabin provided for the Guard. Designed and built by the SE&CR, the Southern Railway (SR) built further examples after Grouping before designing their own version – the 25 Ton ‘Pill Box’ Brake Van (models of which are also produced by Farish) – which afforded a Guard much less covered accommodation. Whilst the final example was built during the 1920s, the Dance Halls were long lived with some surviving through to the late-twentieth century having been granted a second life in departmental use.

The model carries a wealth of detail, from the finely moulded planking of the body sides and ends, to the underframe which features brake and spring detail on the underside. The glazed cabin affords views inside, and through the whole length of the model, which is adorned with numerous separately fitted parts, like the metal handrails and the distinctive foot boards which stretch the length of the vehicle.
