This item is a very accurate representation of the salt wagons seen in the TV series, and also displays an accurate troublesome truck face from the classic series. This van is great as part of a mixed goods train or even just for adding variety to your shunting yard. I am very satisfied with this product and will definitely purchase more over time. As I get more vans, I plan on painting some dark brown as seen in the classic series. I also plan on removing the faces from some of them and using them on other rolling stock, such as ventilated vans, and open wagons, to give more variety and realism to my layout!
