Early brake vans were typically of similar construction of general purpose open wagons, with basic shelter added for the guard.
From the 1870s the GWR built many new brake vans with outside frames. The general layout with only a rear veranda setting the style for all their future designs.
In the early 1900s the GWR built a batch of 6 wheeled brake vans to provide extra braking force and they were consequently used on larger mineral trains.

In this period British freight trains were required to have a brake van at the rear of the train for safety reasons. Since many waggons only had manual brakes, the brake van would aid the engine with braking on declines and also help prevent couplings breaking when the train started moving. The guard who travelled in the van was first aid trained in case of an accident. (Has no practical function in the game, so has no cost or weight.)
