Hi Rob

 

I've been looking at Allen Jenks photos on his Smugmug page. He has three pages of photo, below I've added a link to one of his photos but I'm interested in the vehicle next to it as it looks like a GWR Mink Van or a Fruit Van. would it be possible for you or someone else to confirm it please, a photo would also be nice.

Hi Rob

 

Thanks for the photo, it's not the one I was hoping for but does confirm that the Fruit D 3411 is on the DFR.

 

Could you have a look at my post number #101 at the top of this page please and #98.

Breakdown Van 262 is incorrectly numbered in the GWR wagons E-list, I will amend this to number 161. Having checked the wagons Lot register it lists it as L903 built in 2/12/23 (this was when Lot 903 was completed) It was first allocated to Oswestry with 162 it's BDVT, T being tender.

 

It was at the SVR prior to going to the DFR.

 

Details as follows

Length 31 feet Width 8 feet, Height 7 feet 2 inch, WB 19 feet, Tare 12-16-1.

 

Thank you for confirming that this van is on the DFR.

BDVT 162 I believe to be on the SVR I have added photos of this or possibly 118 in the GWR Wagons group on Flickr.
