Manufacturer description

A standard British Rail General Utility Van, windowless and adorned in the eye catching bright red and white Coca Cola aesthetic. A General Utility Van (GUV) is a type of rail vehicle built by British Rail primarily for transporting mail and parcels. They were used by both Rail Express Systems and Railtrack. Operating companies such as Colas Rail and continue using them to this day. Our model combines the hardiness and general purpose of a reliably servicable Parcels and Miscellaneous Van as The Southern Railway named them with the household sweet drinks brand supplying its customers since 1886.
