Prototype information:

165 vacuum braked Borails were built to diagrams 1/482 and 1/483 in the late 1950s. The Borails were built with 8' plate bogies and vacuum brakes.

Mullet YLAs: during the mid-1980s the Borail BRAs were moved into Departmental use and some remain in use today.  As with the earlier BRA rebuilds the move to Departmental use saw the YLAs used to transport rail from Workington to various BR depots. Many Mullets remain in Departmental use and can often be found with several at the head of an engineers train. Since 2018 EWS/DB have used Mullets to carry out of gauge pipes from Hartlepool to Georgemas Junction, some have been repainted into EWS livery.
