OO Toad Brake Van is a detailed model train designed for realistic railway modelling and layout expansion in OO scale.
Featuring:
- Detail & Finish: The OO Toad Brake Van is crafted with an accurate livery and fine moulded details. It features the distinctive brake van design with a well-executed body and printed markings, capturing the prototypical look of traditional British brake vans. The wood-effect finish and end detailing are particularly well-represented.
- Drive & Performance: This model is a non-powered rolling stock, relying on a locomotive to provide motion. The smooth-running wheels ensure reliable operation when coupled with a compatible powered model, and it is designed to run smoothly on clean tracks.
- Control & Compatibility: The Toad Brake Van is compatible with DC analogue systems. It is not equipped with DCC or sound features. Control system information is not available for DCC or factory-fitted sound options.
- Couplings & Integration: The van features standard OO-scale couplings, ensuring easy integration with other OO-scale rolling stock and locomotives. It is compatible with most OO-scale layouts but does not explicitly support NEM coupler systems unless stated by the manufacturer.

Why this model matters
The OO Toad Brake Van is an essential piece of British rolling stock, providing crucial brake functions for freight trains in the era it represents. Its fine detailing, accurate livery, and smooth-running characteristics make it an excellent addition to any OO-scale layout, especially for those modelling traditional British railways. This model enhances the authenticity of any freight operations scene by adding realistic brake van details.
How to use it
Place the Toad Brake Van on your powered track and connect it to a compatible locomotive for movement. As a non-powered model, it requires a powered locomotive or other rolling stock to function. Ensure the couplings are properly aligned with compatible models. This model is ready-to-run and requires no assembly.
