B&MR van ?

Post by andrewnummelin »

On going through some photos I noticed just a bit of a van. Was this a B&MR one? Can anyone add any more to the image?

I believe that it is Andrew and it's very similar to this on taken in Brecon in the early 1920s (also an extract from Ken Nunn , this time H3230

Stephen Bell (Cambrian51 here) has supplied these internal dimensions

Length 14'6"
Breadth 6' 10.5"
Height 6' 1"
W/B 9 '
Carrying capacity 6T

On thie basis of the pics alone and assuming a 9' W/B I built this 4mm scale model on the 1980s

This was without the benefit of Stephen's dimensions and, as can be seen, the capacity.

Removal of some of the perspective by using GIMP.
