I'll probably be laughed at for this question...but what's up with the brake vans behind the locomotive?

More Meldon Valley
Nice to see all these great steam era images.
As promised here are some more from my little Meldon Valley layout.
This first image showing the morning Penzance Local
A fully loaded coal train near the Haxton Signal Box
An empty coal waiting for the loaded coal to pass
After the Penzance Local arrives not long after the Valley Auto Coach leaves Port Argyle to do the morning run. Here it is passing through the Town of Port Argyle.
A delivery at the goods area of Meldon Town. The wagons will be picked up in the afternoon.

Regarding my question. There are a few pictures here that have the brake van behind the locomotive, or have two brake vans, one at each end.
I know I've heard that sometimes in the US (when cabooses were common) railroad companies would periodically run with two cabooses, usually when there were more crew members than usual or had a head end brakeman.

I have seen this many times where two brake vans are stuck behind the locomotive my example a short piece of footage of and Ivatt 4mt with pulling a short goods train with two brake vans behind the loco. Mostly this was because they needed to move the brake van to somewhere else and this was the best way of doing it.
TlBlade that second picture is classic 9F, it looks really stern and intent on its duty.
Some from the Colliery on my Pennine Route Colliery Run, which I intend to make my first DLS release (been building it since late January so I shouldn't be long once Bradford Exchange is rebuilt.) (I use real names as A. I am usless at thinking up made up names, and B. I am building the route as it was with goods yards and starions in the right order just to a ficticiouse track plan, the same goes for built up areas and bascially the entire route lol)
Haunchwood Number 1 in the shadow of the colliery
Linda moves the loaded wagons out ready for Number 1 to take up the Foxfield inspired incline.
Another Peckett gets steam up on shed 'up top' ready to help Linda at the colliery base
Sir Gomer brushes with the mainline whilst shunting 'up top'
Number 1 powers up the incline with its loaded wagons
Here the loco slips slighty as she takes the strain of the wagons weight, a full slip would rquire her to go back to the bottom and start the climb again
On the steapest part of the climb you can see the gradient as you look along the train
passing the Green Peckett 'up top' number one is back on the flat and makes ready to uncouple and move out of the way so the wagons can be marshalled.
