BR Mk1 POS Post Office Sorting Van

Hot on the heals of the POT released during 2025 comes a re-issue of the the Mk.1 POS Post Office Sorting Van. There were few vehicle types more specialised within the Mk1 family that the Post Office vans, with Travelling Post Office (TPO) formations featuring POS coaches (Post Office Sorting) where mail was sorted on the move, and POTs where mail was stowed during the journey. Introduced in the 1960s and in operation until the end of the TPOs in 2004, the POS has been a mainstay of TPO formations during the BR period and into Privatisation when they were operated by EWS.

8 Plank Wagons

Various types of 8 Plank Wagon were built, and the Graham Farish model depicts one with an end door which allowed the wagon to be end-tipped to aid unloading. Side doors and bottom discharge doors are also present, all engraved into the wagon’s bodyshell which is moulded with plank lines and ironwork detailing. Below the solebar the W irons, axleboxes and springs are all reproduced, with separate brakes and brake leavers and metal door stops completing the look.

IIA Bogie Hopper Wagons

The IIA Bogie Hopper Wagons started life as HYA Coal Hoppers, introduced from 2007 to deliver the fuel needed to run coal-fired power stations. However, as the UK transitioned away from using coal as the fuel for its power stations, the wagons became redundant and were re-employed on biomass trains, being recoded as IIAs in the process.
