Looks more plausible than the model CR I linked to. Your link with plan and dimensions would allow the theoretical possibility of comparing measurements. There is a distinct similarity in the timber uprights at the non veranda end.

Similarity in Windows, possibly the same despatch note holder thing, and timbers. Also the body side appears to be constructed in thirds rather than the halves of the CR model. The CR model also had 2 panes in each window not one.There is a distinct similarity in the timber uprights at the non veranda end.
Agreed, although heritage railways up and down the country have dug out incredibly rare survivors from the unlikeliest of places, some less complete than others.I'd have thought an LNWR brake van of that age would be quite a rare survivor, albeit significant chunk of this have not actually survived...
Agree with your points. The central third being used for the side window cut into it perhaps.Anybody know the height of the caravan model?

Indeed - quality parts lasting a lifetime!Agree with your points. The central third being used for the side window cut into it perhaps.
Shows the quality of the timber they had access to then. Survived with probably minimal to no maintenance for many of the years it must have been grounded there.
