Following information is from the Urie Locomotive website www.urieloco.co.uk
Chassis is from Maunsell 5000 gallon bogie tender number 3214. Arrivied at the Mid Hants Railway in 2004. A new tank has been constructed and fitted to return it to use as a steam locomotive tender. The last report on the website about this work is dated Feb 2011.
The information above is drawn from archived reports on the Urie Loco website dated June 2008 and Jan 2009.

I went to photograph this vehicle today. From areas accessible to the public, there is no real clear shot to be had. Forget the station or the adjacent public car park. The clearest photo can be obtained thus:
Leave the station and turn right and start walking along Sherwood Drive, after a few minutes there is an overgrown area of brambles. You can pick your way through these until you come to the pallisade fencing at the railway boundary. With a good zoom lens you can get some shots, however the recently installed stabling point lighting and walkways prohibit an uncluttered photograph. Perhaps best attempted during the winter months!

This has now been painted bright yellow with a white mesh railing along one side so should be easy to identify! No number or plate now though by the looks of it...

Moved to M. Fairnington Engineering, Wooler (by 24/8/2011). Original burnt out body now removed and replaced with scratch built body, to look like a brake van carrying number NE 153320. Identified from worksplate on underframe (B785609).

Apparently this vehicle IS to be used to repair SWT's smashed 455 vehicle at Wolverton. As that is a trailer and this is a driving vehicle can we assume that there will be some sort of body transplant that will effectively see this vehicle dismantled for spares and then the remainder scrapped? It seems a lot of work but then gone are the days when vehicles were held 'spare' just for the million to one off chance they would be needed. Another aspect of stock utilisation sadly missing from privatisation.
Mind you. There are plenty of 508's currently in storage.............

The carriage survey website says that the heavily rotted body has been removed at the Bluebell and the underframe transported to the Isle of Wight.

I was at EMR Kingsbury today and there was a coach there (barely visible) that looked like it could be this one - I could make out ADB 9_72_5 (where the underscored blanks weren't visible). Perhaps someone with better knowledge than me could confirm?

There were a total of three Class 104s used as Carriage Washing Test Coaches, namely ADB977342 (ex-DMBS50475/53475), ADB977343 (ex-DMCL50506/53506) and ADB977344 (ex-DMBS50422/53422).
Can anyone tell me how they were used and whether they were used as a set?
