GWR 2504 Milk Tank Wagon
Milk tanks were privately owned by dairies and mounted on railway owned chassis. This 6 wheel GWR chassis, type MILTANK, was built in 1932 at Swindon and carries a 3000 gallon "glass lined" (vitreous enamelled) steel tank, originally supplied for United Dairies.
It was acquired in 1995 by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund, arriving on the SVR in November of that year from Swansea Landore Diesel Depot where it had been used as a waste oil carrier.[1]
Photographed stored at Bewdley, awaiting restoration.
