Description
Royal Navy Armaments Depots (RNAD) were strategic sites located around the UK for the storage and supply of armaments to the Royal Navy and other British and Commonwealth Armed Forces. Usually comprising several underground ‘magazines’, they were usually rail served by the national network and many had internal narrow gauge railway systems in order to aid movements between the standard gauge facility, magazines and workshops. The railways were equipped with their own fleets of locomotives and rolling stock designed specifically for the task in hand. Although some of the railways operated as recently as the early-21st century, as closures occurred stock became redundant however a significant number of items have subsequently entered preservation gaining a new lease of life. This Enclosed-End Brake Van depicts one of the vans used at a RNAD site where it would have provided braking force to the unfitted trains of wagons.
