Still in use and visiting rallies. This van was shown at the Nottingham Steam Fair on the Embankment
Not a modeller, but I have indulged myself. I enjoyed being a train guard as a young bloke in my early 20s, and for years have been thinking of buying models of brakevans that I worked in. I have finally started, with a pair of HO scale models of MHG (later NVMF) brakevans (aka guard's vans). The MHGs were were the most numerous class of brake van on the NSWR in the 1970s. They were built in England by Metropolitan Cammell, imported in kit form and assembled by Clyde Engineering in the early 1950s. They were a steel bodied van, their design was based on the earlier timber-bodied PHG brakevan. In the mid 1960s they were modified, indcluding provision of LPG gas for heating and cooking (gas burner ring), access provided for the guard to the passenger compartment toilet and washbasin, replacement of ducket lookouts with mirror lookouts, and provision of passenger-style roller bearing bogies.
This is one of the two model MHGs I bought, configured per the early to mid 1970s. I didn't notice at the time, but the rather delicate marker light had been bent.

This old Carters Television van (a Bedford I think) caught my eye rusting away in King's Lynn 28.3.14

'Built by Van Ravesteyn for himself, this house exploits his pre-war themes: a functional parti, use of modern materials and a predilection for curves. Standing in one corner of a triangular site, its plan, too, is triangular. The curved glass partitions of both living room and roof terrace above offer a view of what was then unspoilt country.'
I've always liked small diecast van models but unfortunately they are pretty thin on the ground at this scale and end of the market. Majorette make a really great Renault Trafic, so good I had to buy a second one! Great casting and detailing and with an opening side door too. Mint and boxed.
A burned out (Transit ?) van on the south bank of the River Thames, beginning to rust away. A safe, with a rectangular hole in it, was nearby.

This is actually an old shot. (Early Fall) But after flipping through some shots, I thought it would make a fantastic ad. Tell me what you think!

It seems the Hot Wheels Monster Dairy Delivery isn't a generic after all, its heavily based on the rather round and cuddly Divco van which was made into the 1980's despite its Art Deco styling. Not that any Divco Milk Delivery Van ever had a ride height quite as monstrous as this though hence the "Monster" designation. This rather funny cow skin coloured example I believe dates back to 2012 which is ancient history in Hot Wheels years. In mint condition considering it was recently found in a charity shop.
