October 15th 2011 saw the official launch into service of the BR 20 ton brake van. This vehicle has been rebuilt by one of the NVR's younger members, Tim Hobman. Over the last 4 years, Tim aided by his small team of helpers, has transformed what was a burned out wreck into this superbly rebuilt vehicle. Known at the NVR as the 'IKEA' project as the woodwork came from Tim's home as a flat pack, the work and detail undertaken has resulted in a stunning piece of work. The next project, a pair of type 'A' containers are situated just behind - Tim like a challenge obviously!.
