Brake Van E.3
Embedded Files
One of a second batch of two brake vans from the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd., of Saltley Works in Birmingham built to the same design as the initial batch from the previous year. The underframe from this example was later converted to become G.19 in 1921, which remains extant in the railway museum in this form. The bodies were scrapped at this time.
