WD 4607 'Rectank' Tank Carrier Wagon
From SVR Wiki
This bogie flat wagon was designed by the War Department as a tank transporter and built on their behalf in 1918 by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at their Horwich works. This class of wagon had a 35 ton capacity and was known by the telegraphic code 'RECTANK'.
It arrived at the SVRSevern Valley Railway in September 1994 direct from military use at Kineton, carrying the Army identity WGC 4607, and bearing a large water tank. It is now used by the SVRSevern Valley Railway for carrying rails and other heavy loads, and was photographed alongside Kidderminster Carriage Shed in April 2015.
