GWR 143 Tool & Packing Van
This 4-wheel non-vented van was built at Swindon in 1913 and was used at Wolverhampton Stafford Road works.
It arrived on the SVR in 1972, and was initially restored a short time later. It was completely overhauled in 1986-87 which included a repaint into GWR Lake livery. In 2014 The 2857 Society transferred their spares from GWR 5043 Full Third to 143. It is seen at Bewdley Down Yard in March 2015.
