Available very soon, this OO model will appeal to anyone modelling both "Big Four" and early British Rail periods.
'MICA B', the telegraphic code 'MICA' designates a Refrigerated Meat Van of which 'B' is the ventilated variant.
The ventilated vans were mainly used to transport chilled beef carcases from ports such as Birkenhead to Smithfield and other markets. It is fitted with internal tanks for solid CO2, and trap doors on top of the roof for loading the dry ice. Meat hooks were fitted.
Built between 1923 – 1926, 149 were produced based on the X8 diagram.
CAD’s are completed and KR Models plan to go straight into tooling.
