The Southern Railway built 299 of these vans between 1930 and 1939. Short distance cattle traffic was largely lost to road in the interwar years, but longer distance movements declined more slowly and were not uncommon into the early 1960's. Many of these Southern cattle trucks lasted into this period and could be seen throughout Britain.Transfers for SR and BR livery periods.
Ref: PS106
Some of the earlier 9ft. wheelbase trucks which had the vacuum brake fitted were converted to 10ft. wheelbase and by 1937 new construction resumed with a batch of 10ft. wheelbase vacuum fitted trucks. Wooden chassis was retained. The cattle trade by rail began to decline between the wars. Many of these wagons lasted until around 1960.
