Diesel Brake Tenders were introduced by British Railways for use when the brakes on diesel locomotives were inadequate to control an unfitted train. Filled with scrap steel to raise the weight of the vehicle to 35½–37½ tons, this consequently increased the available brake force. They were introduced in the early 1960s using bogies recovered from coaches.

Our model comes ready to run, with removable fully upholstered correctly profiled, roof / seat, with ample stowage space below, fitted with cable operated twin disc braking, and removable running boards.

KEY FEATURES:

  • MIG/TIG welded body and chassis assembly
  • Dual disc braked
  • Smooth running coach bogies
  • Sprung suspension
  • Sprung CNC turned Buffers
  • Clevis Couplings
  • Machined steel axle boxes wth ball race bearings
  • Finished in BR Green livery as standard
  • Full 12 month warranty
