The brake van provided brake functionality to help slow the train as well as acting as a space in which the trains guard could carry out additional duties such as paperwork. As a result most brake vans featured a stove and desk on top of the brake apparatus. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) built 2653 20 ton break vans between 1933 and 1947. These featured a wooden structure that spanned most of the frame, with open covered areas at either end to provide the guard with an excellent view of the train.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43092886814825,"sku":"5055286691829","price":64.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/auroratrains.com.au\/products\/hornby-r60019-br-exlms-20-t-brake-van-b950040-era-7-oo-scale","provider":"Aurora Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
