Mark Saunders Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The VBA was a one off publicity wagon rather like the Transrail VDA but the BDA was a more common livery in comparison! I’m sure there was a photo of the VDA in Rail Express and also in adverts in other mags! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, they were some used in the flow but it was just those that were overhauled by Loadhaul! Some were later modified with air brakes to become HPA’s. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
