The Story

Expected Delivery Q2 2026 (Subject to Change at Manufacturer's Discretion).

Rail Express Services (RES) was the BR sector responsible for the transport of mail and parcels, including the Travelling Post Office. General Utility Vans (GUVs) were used in large numbers to transport mail and parcels, though some were used as newspaper vans. 

These vehicles were part of the BR Mk1 coach family and 907 examples were built between 1956 and 1960 by BR at its York, Doncaster and Glasgow works. A number were also produced under contract by the Pressed Steel Company Ltd at Cowley, near Oxford. With a carrying capacity of 13.8 tons (14 tonnes) these multi-door bogie vans were versatile, some even being converted for carrying motor vehicles. Some train operating companies still use them, and a number have found further use at heritage railways. 

This RailRoad RES Mk1 Super Guv model coach is a durable, detailed option for your model railway collection.
