| 1/200 | 1,300 plywood-bodied sliding door vans with distinct LMS-pattern corrugated steel ends and vacuum brake gear. |
| 1/201 | 50 Shocvans of an LNER design, characterised by a plywood body, single vent, sliding door, and LNER pattern eight-shoe vacuum brake gear. |
| 1/202 | Two lots, totalling 750 vehicles, of an SR design, both adhered to British Railways (BR) diagram 1/202; while one lot was initially unfitted, they were later retrofitted with vacuum brakes, while the other lot featured Southern Railway pattern vacuum brake gear from the outset. |
| 1/203 | 100 vehicles of a GWR design featured plywood bodies and doors, distinguishable from V37 and 1/205 vans by their tall vacuum pipes. |
| 1/204 | An LMS design of 2,050 vehicles, similar to BR 1/200 but with horizontal plank sides and doors. |
| 1/205 | 230 vehicles of a GWR design featuring plywood bodies and doors as per V37 but unlike 1/205 vans they weren’t built with vacuum brakes, though they were subsequently retrofitted. |
| 1/206 | Shock LMS Design BR Wolverton |
| 1/207 | Shock GWR Design built at BR Ashford |
| 1/208 | 1949 GWR design as 1/203 but built unfitted. Over 17,000 of these vans were built in the 1950s to carry general merchandise traffic. The design has GWR features but without the characteristic roof profile and corrugated ends favoured by the LMS and LNER. Many were in service into the 1980s. [Parkside 4mm PC07A]. |
| 1/209 | Introduced 1953 – 1956, these vans carried fragile traffic such as biscuits, whisky and china and lasted in service until the late 1970s. [Parkside 4mm PC29] |
| 1/210 | |
| 1/211 | BR 12 Ton Palvan. 2,388 of these vans were built in the period from 1952 to 1961 to carry goods loaded on pallets. Various changes were introduced over this period, especially in the suspension which was the Achilles heel of this design. Withdrawal took place in the middle 1960s. Several survive on various preservation sites. [Parkside 4mm PC65] |

| 1/213 | BR 12 Ton Van-Plywood Sides. These vans of which over 3,500 were built in the 1950s are similar to the above type but have plywood substituting for timber planks in the body and have an equivalent history.

| 1/217 | BR 12 Ton Van ‘Vanwide’ (Vacuum Brake). This was the most successful BR design of van for carrying palletised loads. The 9ft. wide doorway gave easy access for forklift trucks. 1944 were built from 1960. They were intensively used for twenty years. Then a small fleet was upgraded with a modified suspension and air brakes and was mainly for Ministry of Defence traffic between many of their depots which had sharply curved sidings unsuitable for more modern rolling stock.
