Why this accessory matters
The EHO 645 model represents one of the EHO high elliptical roof brake vans rebuilt by NSWGR from the late 1950s. The rebuilt vans retained the original Guards doorway and large ducket lookout, while receiving new body framing, vertical plywood exterior sheeting and sliding luggage compartment doors. SDS Models states that its models are based upon photographic evidence.
How to use it
Place the ready-to-run brake van on suitable HO scale track and observe the recommended 18” minimum radius. The model is fitted with Alliance scale head whisper couplers for coupling. Keep wheels, couplers and track clean during operation, and store the model safely when not in use.
