I don't have a definitive reference for the build details for 993876 that I've added; however Paul Bartlett's gallery includes various Sharks with numbers either side of 993876, all of which fall into the same BRCWBirmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company batch. Our other Shark 993898 was also part of that batch as per the RHR Wagon Survey. If anyone gets a chance to inspect the maker's plate and confirm this, it would be appreciated. --Robin (talk) 21:24, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
