GWR 2424 Fruit Van
The brown livery of 10 ton 'Fruit C' No 2424 denotes it as " Non Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock", meaning that as it was fitted with vacuum brakes, it was allowed to run as part of a passenger train.
It was built at Swindon circa 1911/12 and originally numbered 79969 in the Goods series, later renumbered 2424 in 'Brown vehicle' series in 1917. It was acquired in 1986 ex-BR(W) Reading by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund, and last fully restored in 2000.
