It is a GWR design but was built by BR at Swindon in 1955controlled using tokens, some 8 years after nationalisation. It arrived on the SVR in 1973 and has been at Hampton Loade ever since, where it now serves as according to the [[Hampton Loade Station Fund ShopETT|Electric Train Token]] Regulations. This system ensures that only one train can enter each section of track at any given time. The present day SVR uses a later type of instrument called a 'key token' instrument, so named because each token resembles a large key.[[<!--PAGE TO LINK TO-->GWR 3467 Fruit D VanSingle line working using tokens | (Full article...)]]]]
