1995 20 ton brake van identity

[DavidM]

Good afternoon,

I'm currently converting a number of O gauge brake vans into their 1995 identities for use on flask trains but can't find an identity for this Railfreight grey and red van which seems to be a regular on the Trawsfynydd workings at the time....

 

I've got the later liveried vehicles pretty much down to a tee but any gen on this example (examples?) would be hugely appreciated :-) (some of the photos show the number but not quite clearly enough!)

That's more than enough to get started on, thanks for the info!

Off topic, but is the HEA barrier wagon in the 3rd picture blue? Or is it just the way the light is hitting it?

It is in Railfreight dark grey & yellow livery and was probably one of the three that were converted to MEBs as the replacement for MDVs and gained the vacuum through pipes to work with the MDVs in the trials and retained the tall body rather than get cut down to become RNAs.

.

Temple Mills nuclear flask workings:- B954693,

Hope this points you in the right direction ?
