Grounded Vans

[Peter Fidczuk 17]

Interesting to see that the Glenfinnan van is still on its underframe. Usually just the body was sold for further use and the underframe cut up.

It's a BR 12 Ton van with a plywood body. I would have to consult the Diagram Book to find the diagram number.

Not quite grounded...

It's got two doors; they're just not on the same side.

Nobody said they couldn't be models did they?

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.

Relatively unusual to still have its underframe - valuable scrap, that was!

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?

Probably a GWR 'Mogo' motor car van.

Yep - must be a 'MOGO' ....... the weird B.R. dia.1/214 'semi-MOGO' had full height doors with no vent above.

Here's one that's lurking in some allotments in Shirebrook… still some faint traces of bauxite

This is the Google Street view of my local Conservative Club car park. I suppose when Boris allows us northerners to have a drink somebody will want a better picture.

Strange that given where it is I would have expected it to be painted in Rail Blue.
