Why this model matters

KB brake vans were an important component of NSW passenger trains, providing secure accommodation for luggage, parcels, and train crew while completing the formation of many regional and express services. Finished in the traditional Indian Red livery, KB 1105 accurately represents the appearance of passenger rolling stock during the transition from steam to diesel traction.

How to use it

This ready-to-run HO scale passenger brake van can be placed directly onto compatible HO gauge track and coupled into passenger consists behind suitable NSW steam or diesel locomotives. It is ideal for recreating authentic regional and express passenger operations.

This is a plastic model. Assembly, paint, and glue are not required. It is not a toy.
