LNWR 76738 (fictitious) 4-Wheel Tranship Van

Revision as of 18:33, 29 December 2015 by Robin (talk | contribs) (new as of format)

The actual identity of this LNWR 10 ton Goods Van is unknown. It is thought to have been built at Wolverton between 1910 and 1923.

The van arrived on the SVR in November 1993 from Gosport, where it had been in use by the Royal Navy numbered RNAD 338. Following arrival, the 1999 SVR stock noted it as being owned by Pat Goss and having been used in demonstration freight trains.

The Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey includes a photograph of the van on display in The Engine House in 2010. It was removed from there during a re-organisation in April 2012[1]. As of July 2015 it was stored in Kidderminster Carriage Shed.
