One of a number of slides and negatives I'm scanning for the next book includes this image of 33028 at Olympia. Can anyone identify the wagon under the road bridge that looks like an out of gauge tank?

The SR didn’t do unfitted trains by the time the D78 stock was on the scene, so with all those VB wagons, it’s unlikely to be a pure AB wagon. Perhaps one of the AB with vacuum pipes, in other words coded xxB??

 

It is far more likely to be a TTV. The majority of 45t GLW tank wagons that ended up as TTAs were only vacuum braked for the first 15 - 20 years of their existence. Their rebuilding was during the early 1980s.
