Dapol 4F-016-041 OO Gauge Banana Van 'Fyffes' Bauxite Livery B881945.
This 1:76 scale model banana van from Dapol is of a later 1950’s built variant that was steam piped allowing the easy running of interconnected block trains.
These model wagons will make a great addition to your OO gauge rolling stock and feature a highly detailed moulded body, profiled wheels and finely printed livery.
They measure 82mm (length including buffers) by 33mm (width) by 48mm (height).
To meet the rapid rise in demand for bananas shipped in from the Caribbean, specially constructed steam heated banana vans were manufactured with plywood cladding and insulated bodies that allowed bananas to be shipped in green and ripened en-route.
