As an en-GB native, and having spent ten years working at a railway
museum in England, I would say brake vans are definitely "rolling
stock" (as indeed is anything on wheels that moves on railway rails).

Both en.Wikipedia's categories (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_van ) and Wikidata agree with
that.
