Breakdown Tool Van 66 was built in 1921 and first allocated to Taunton. In service these 6-wheel Tool Vans carried a large selection of equipment and lifting tackle, and were paired with Riding/Dormitory Vans such as [[GWR 89 Riding/Dormitory Van | GWR89]]. They were vacuum-braked to permit fast running to the scene of accidents and breakdowns on the railway.
It 66 was acquired in 1985 by the [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]], and is situated at [[Hampton Loade]] where it is used by The [[Barry Railway Carriage Trust]] as a sales vehicle.
