Talk:Railcar 22

Which railcar burnt out at Bridgnorth?

The article cites a photo of W7W burnt out in the sidings at Bridgnorth, following a fire on 10 August 1956. Various other sites state that W10W caught fire at Bridgnorth on 9 March 1956 (e.g. this site), but I can find no mention of W7W catching fire - the linked site shows a withdrawl date of Jan 1959, which seems optimistic if it suffered a "serious fire" in 1957. Which of the fire claims is correct? I do note that quite a number did manage to catch fire, so maybe the answer is both! --Danny252 (talk) 23:17, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

BR Database shows shed allocations for W7W in 1957 and 1958, suggesting any fire wasn't too serious --Danny252 (talk) 23:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

The photo in SVRSevern Valley Railway News shows a railcar which certainly matches the description 'destroyed'. I think the caption is probably incorrect and have edited the wording accordingly. --Robin (talk) 07:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
