GWR 2214 / DW150393.<br>
GWR 5786 also erroneously shown as DW150393 - an [https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/180051-unusual-and-interesting-coaches-on-flickr/page/7/ image] says it’s DW150338. A search under the [https://features.rcts.org.uk/carriage-conundrums/preserved-coaching-stock-disposals/gwr-design-passenger-carrying/ RCTS] says broken up c1994. The commentary on this page says: Seen at Willesden in mid-1993.[19] Broken up circa 1999,[5] bogies and parts saved[20]. I suspect the RCTS is correct, the 1993 relates to 5786 and the 1999 commentary relates to 2214 - I can’t get behind the paywall of departmentals.com to confirm though - but I think Robin has?--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 00:25, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
: Good spot. Having checked what I can, '''2214''' is confirmed as becoming DW150393 (RCE Staff and Dormitory Coach) circa 11/96 per [[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2018)]] pp.78, 170. The scrapping date of 11 June 1999 is from SVR News 130. '''5786''' is confirmed as becoming DW150338 (Sleeping Mess and Tool Coach) circa 03/62 by [[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2018)]] pp.73, 170. 5786 is mentioned in the 1998 Stock Book under 'Vehicles scrapped on the SVR', the scrapping location being Kidderminster and the date presumably before publication in June 1998. I can't find any mention of it being acquired or indeed scrapped in SVR News, it was probably bought for spares and scrapped shortly after arrival. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 15:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
