SAR K-36 Guards and Baggage Van

In 1921 the SAR placed the first K-36 guards and baggage vans into service. Deliveries would continue sporadically through to 1930. Of wooden construction on a steel underframe, they featured 2 baggage compartments, one at each end, and a central guards compartment. There were four dog boxes. There were no toilet facilities for the guards, and there was also no access to the rest of the train via end doors.

The two vehicles in use on the Union Limited/Union Express were replaced with two K-42s in 1935.

The model is supplied unpainted. Bogies, wheels, couplers and screws are included. Glazing is included. The model also features accurate underframe equipment, accurate ducket style and accurate roof vent spacing and arrangement as per the style of clerestory. The tumblehome is also faithfully reproduced. A further feature is the sprung inter-carriage walkway, which can only be found on SARMODEL models.
