SE&CR Open Goods Wagon 12522

This ex-South East and Chatham Railway Open Goods Wagon was built at Ashford, Kent in 1920. Many wagons of this period were wooden-framed, but this example had steel chassis members. As a result it had a long working life, passing to the SR at Grouping in 1923, and to BR post-War. It was later sold to the Port of Bristol Authority, and finally purchased for preservation in 1975. After being stored for 13 years it arrived on the SVR in January 1988.

As of October 2018 it is undergoing work at Bewdley Goods Shed by the Wagon Department.
