1978 | Arrived on SVR |
92080 was built at Swindon in 1958 and was originally electrically lit with power from an axle driven dynamo and chassis mounted batteries, similar to the system used on passenger coaches. It arrived on the SVR on 19 January 1978, having been bought by the 4150 Fund with the intention of being used for storage of loco spares, and was restored to ENPARTS livery (a code used by GWR and BR(W) for vans carrying loco part from the Swindon factory to loco sheds).[2]
92080 is used as a stores van for GWR Large Prairie 4150.
