GWR 65801 Mogo Van
From SVR Wiki
65801 was built at Swindon circa 1946-47 to Diagram G43, Lot 1556. It has a capacity of 12 Tons and is fitted with end doors and wheel bars to allow a motor car to be loaded, hence the telegraph code 'MogoGWR telegraphic code signifying a covered motor car wagon'. This late example had a plywood body as a post-War economy measure, although earlier examples had planked construction.[1]
65801 arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in July 1973 from Swindon, where it was awaiting breaking up. It received major attention in 1984, and is owned by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund.
