The current Van 3 is a replica of the first type of passenger brake van, the four-wheeled 'Sentry-box' type, so-called because of the small shelter for the guard on the otherwise-open platform at the downhill end. In the early days the passenger trains would gravitate down the line under control of the Guard on the front platform. The replica is pictured at Harbour Station on its first day of service, 11th October 2014. Photo credit: Jim Hewett |
