Including the comments, thanks Robin
This 10 ton Goods Van was built at the St Rollox works of the Caledonian Railway and was originally numbered 4543. It also saw service as LMS 304543 following Grouping in 1923, and was later used by Cadbury’s, from where it arrived on the SVR in June 1967.
The van is seen in the photograph at Hampton Loade in its current LMS livery, where it is had been in use as a store.
Plans are afoot to relocate this vehicle It and sister [[Caledonian Railway Covered Goods Van 302080|302080 ]] left the SVR in May 2016 for a new home at Ferryhill Railway Heritage Trust.<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3582&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 SVR Forum thread]</ref> The move of 4543 was by rail to Kidderminster, dead slow and strapped up to Ferryhill railway centre in Aberdeensecure the cracked sole bar reportedly damaged during shunting.
Its role as a store has been taken by [[GWR 2815 Fruit C Van | GWR Fruit C 2815]].  ==SourcesSee also==[[Wagons formerly resident on the SVR]] ==References==<references />
