Goods Wagons

This 4-wheel 7-plank wagon was one of 10 donated to the SVRSevern Valley Railway in July 1969 by the British Sugar Corporation at Foley Park. A further four were donated in May 1971, although by 1990 all but 4 had been cut up as beyond economical repair.

The original builder and works number of this wagon are not recorded, although it was registered as number 16053 in 1937 and carried the number B.S.C. 13.[1].

It arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in July 1969 and by August 1972 had acquired the fictitious number “CCW 1”.[1] By 1980 it was reported as being in a yellow unlettered livery with no number.[2]

The wagon was inspected for the Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey in February 2013; the resulting listing showed a status "For disposal" and condition "Derelict".[3] However the wagon was restored in 2018 and as of December 2018 is is stored under a tarpaulin at Kidderminster Railway Museum[4] .
