Darstaed Goods (Freight) Vans
Darstaed issued a series of ten advertising vans, illustrated below. The eleventh van, Airman, was issued free with a single purchase of the initial set of ten. Darstaed subsequently issued three further vans, for HRCAA 35th anniversary, HRCA 45th anniversay and Sydney Model Railway Exhibition 50th anniversay. The latter was a special issue by Rob Horton of Wessex Transfers, who then produced a set of Advertising Vans for Darstaed. These were followed by mineral wagons, tank wagons and, in ABS plastic, Weltrol wagons.
