Bernard Lamb Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Been quiet for a bit on this thread. On a walk yesterday I saw this one. Within half a mile of Tollesbury Pier station, though I doubt that it ever went there by rail. Bernard 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Definitely grounded, and soon to become archaeology, this pile of van parts was beside a footpath at Elsecar yesterday. Looks like something with an end door? Edited September 27, 2020 by eastwestdivide 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Probably a GWR 'Mogo' motor car van. Edited September 27, 2020 by BernardTPM 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Yep - must be a 'MOGO' ....... the weird B.R. dia.1/214 'semi-MOGO' had full height doors with no vent above. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I saw this at Yelvertoft allotments (Northants). Very tatty but the painted number was still there. The chap from the parish council responsible for the allotments would like to dispose of the van, if anyone wants it. Needs a bit of work though.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted March 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2021 Is this the most far flung grounded BR van body? Its on Malta no less, used for storing fishing gear. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted March 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 22, 2021 Has anyone mentioned the two in the yard at Noyadd (Neuadd?) Hendidley Farm near Newtown, Powys? I spotted them the other day from the footpath which goes past. There is, or a year ago was, one near the road from Abermule to Montgomery. And on a more positive note the Bishops Castle Railway has one on its site which I believe is being restored to use as a store. Jonathan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted June 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5, 2021 Copped this one last night when James suddenly shouted Banana Van as we were leaving our fishing beat last night. Sorry for poor photo but was 21.00 . Couldnt believe it! Looks to be in remarkable condition too. Cant see it on google earth .... but beware the establishment behind that hedge if you go for a look see! https://earth.google.com/web/@51.95302002,-3.56852371,199.98813266a,121.39194655d,35y,-3.69445071h,5.0572707t,0r 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted June 5, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) I spotted these two vans the other day on a farm near Newtown, Powys, conveniently one with a footpath through the farmyard. They look as though they were originally pretty standard GWR ventilated vans to me. No visible identification, though I didn't go close. Jonathan Edit: there were originally two photos but I can't find the other one. Edited April 22, 2022 by corneliuslundie 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last post in the topic prior to the change-over was a Horsebox of (as yet) unidentified origin. First thoughts were that it was a GWR van, but that was discounted on two points, GWR Horse boxes didn't have a tumble-home side, and had a small extra panel at the end beyond the groom's doorway and window, compared with the photos below:- (taken on a rare day with clear sky and blazing sunshine) I'm told that "it was there when we bought the house 25 years ago". Any views on it's origin? I have not yet found a picture of a LMS Horse Box. I think I've found another one, currently being converted for "glamping" on a campsite and with a few extra windows added it seems? 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1023 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I noted a van body on the back of a low loader in Andover this morning heading in a westerly direction. Didn't look in bad nick really. No number visible, but it had no venting on the ends. A303 shut at the time which is why it may have been in Andover. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted September 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2021 Purposely grounded as it’s in the local scrappy, been quite few there over the last year or so, an RES BG by the looks of it don’t know where it’s come from but looking at the paintwork on it and the container in front and airport truck is say they are from the same place I then also spotted this lurking in the corner, hopefully put to one side for salvage, a loco tender of some sort 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely to have survived there since 1968 or earlier ......... so presumably deemed unusable by the local preservationists - and a replica built instead. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
