LNWR 76738 (fictitious) 4-Wheel Tranship Van
The actual identity of this LNWRLondon & North Western Railway 10 ton Goods Van is unknown. It is thought to have been built at Wolverton between 1910 and 1923.
The van arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in November 1993 from Gosport, where it had been in use by the Royal Navy numbered RNADRoyal Naval Armaments Depot 338. Following arrival, the 1999 SVRSevern Valley Railway stock noted it as being owned by Pat Goss and having been used in demonstration freight trains.
The Railway Heritage Register Wagon Survey includes a photograph of the van on display in The Engine House in 2010. It was removed from there during a re-organisation in April 2012[1], and as of July 2015 it is stored in Kidderminster Carriage Shed.
