hmrspaul Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Yes a ferry van, but what is it? The photo shows the strange and interesting transition period of the later 1970s, lots of newly rebodied vacuum braked hoppers. The main train has a good number of the ex Whisky grain vans - continuing in that use and then one of the first of the large bogie ferry vans registered in Germany - perhaps two types. The train also has a Siphon - perhaps an Enparts one?? And is the third wagon - the open - one with a roll top? With the vacuum brake at the front and airbraked vans at the back an interesting mix for the operators But plenty of BR standard vans still around. This yard has been relaid in recent years in preparation for the main yards in York to be ripped up for a redevelopment. Paul 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhall Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I think you are looking at an Interfrigo, in the silver livery shown here but with the lower side either cleaned or repainted. Jon 11 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Indeed it is but in a special livery. White lower half and pale grey upper half separated by a red band. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 White or silver with a horizontal red stripe was an Italian livery from the 1920s. I wonder whether it has been cleaned or partially repainted then had to be put back into traffic? It's all a bit modern for me, I'm afraid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The Siphon appears to have most of the slatted uppers plated over. Could it be a Newspaper van conversion? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be a Newspaper van conversion? Quite a few found gainful employment as Enparts vans and Seat Trimming Material vans after their careers as Parcel and Newspaper Vans had finished; I suspect the one in the photo is one of these, as it seems to be painted in Depatmental Olive Green. It's one of the final, BR-built ones, as it has ventilators on the lower sides 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I photographed Siphon Gs still in newspaper traffic at Cardiff in November 1977. One thing I did notice, apart from the retention of gangways, they were air braked. This might have made them more useful for departmental serice later. I don't think you can really say for sure what colour it is in that photo though; dirty blue, dirty olive...just plain dirty? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Controller Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Italian vans- the white stripe indicates that vehicle may be carrying perishable produce. In later years, the stripes were rather half-heartedly painted over with a thinned-down coat of FS's equivalent to Freight Brown. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
