NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Has anybody noticed that there are two variants of the Hornby RailRoad R6368 BR 20 Ton Brake Van? Variant no.1 which I believe is the first version, has the full capital letter product descripton sticker, containing the fleet number 'B952042'. The paint colour seems to be a very light brown colour, a similar colour to the Hornby Thomas & Friends Brake Vans found in the two triple packs, R9300 (From 2015) and R9706 (From 2012). Variant no.2 which I believe is the second version, has the mostly lowercase product description sticker, containing the fleet number 'B952004'. The paint colour seems to be darker brown reddish colour, similar in colour to the Hornby Thomas & Friends R109 Brake Van. I am unsure when this product was first release and which year Hornby alterted the brake van's colour and fleet number. Please feel free to comment below! Thanks. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 According to Ramsey B952004 (ex R2670 pack) was supposed to be light grey, and R6368 B952042 was supposed to be brown. Both use the 1967 tooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yes, these brake vans are old toppings, plus all the brake vans, accept for R9200 Toad, from the Hornby Thomas & Friends range use the same tooling. Images of B952042 trom the Internet, appears to be a reddish brown colour to mused, but depending on what light the model was taken in nd how good the camera is, really does depend of it does show the true colour or not.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 I have puchased both versions of the Hornby RailRoad R6368 BR 20 Ton Brake Van, so I can distinguish myself the differeces between the two models. Will be a lot easier than using Internet images. I may also upoad some images here, if somebody would like to see them. I have also found third version of the BR 20 Ton Brake Van from the Hornby RailRoad range, which appears to be exclusive to a triple pack. The triple pack in question is the Hornby RailRoad R6365 Breakdown Pack. The BR 20 Ton Brake Van included contains the fleet number 'B952040'. Hornby RailRoad R6365 Breakdown Pack also contains a red Tredegar 5014 LWB Open Wagon and a yellow BR Breakdown Crane. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 I have just remebered about a fourth BR 20 Ton Brake Van, BR Grey liveried brake van found in Hornby RailRoad R2670 GWR Freight Train Pack. The brake van does have a fleet / running number, but I am unsure what it is. The train pack also contained a Class 101 GWR 0-4-0T locomotive, a Charingtons LWB Open Wagon and a GWR Ventilated Van.

JJ73 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Well just had a quick look & may be they decided to add the Brake van to the 2 plank wagons to make a triple pack which would be better than a double pack!!! 😀 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 You are clearly talking about the two Hornby Thomas & Friends Triple Packs I mentioned about, in my original post, R3000 and R9705, JJ. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
