CPM-PHV-3 - RHG/PHV 2403 Power Van Kit (HO Scale)
The NSW RHG/PHV/OPV Power Vans were built in the 1970s from GLV louvre vans to initially fulfill freight duties. Due to a shortage of power vans available they were transferred to passenger services.
The kits are available in 5 HO scale variants representing the three cars built and the changes in livery, coding and modifications over their working life. Each variant features specifically modeled details and decals as per the prototype.
