Bit more news. The item in question was designated by Railway Heritage Commitee mid 12/09. I also understand that a separate appeal for money has raised enough to get it back to Scotland. The article did generate interest and further photos of ex atlantic boilers still in static use at Cowlairs circa 1950 in the NBR Study Group Journal and one of many comments came from Chairman GER Society. According to RCTS Locomotive of LNER part 10B the donor tank was a departmental GER vehicle. The GER Chairman is not convinced so any other offers?

Spotted this very interesting survivor at Goodman's Yard on 6th Feb 2010. Didn't appreciate the significance of the frame until I was trying to identify the vehicle to caption my photograph and found this site. Not an expert on NBR unfortunately. I read with interest the comments above & all the issues with trying to re-create another loco. Look at the tank on this vehicle though... all rivetted and obviously of historical interst in its own right. Far less cash would be required to conserve the vehicle as it stands... would this not be the most practical option?

Is the one on the right actually 041602 not 041562? (See comments against the pair elsewhere on this site)

I think the van you are inquiring about is 786968 which went from York Leeman Road Yard into preservation at the Wensleydale Railway - Leeming Bar & is renumbered to WR1117 in their numbering system.
Regards,
Tony.

This vehicle was noted at Bitton on the Avon valley railway on February 20th, 2010
It is in the process of being restored and is parked next to the static buffet car attached to their new catering block.

I think the other two vehicles are as reported in an above comment. 975464 & 975486. I've seen a couple of phots of the three - whilst not clear, it does appear that the other two vehicles have similar sides to 975464/486, which had recently been at Wigan Springs Branch..
Destined to be either Bescot or Margam breakdown train.
There may be another breakdown formation being put together for SP - maybe this could have 971001?

That's the first picture of a rail vehicle being cut with a plasma cutter i've ever seen!
Must have required some precise scrapping. lol

I can confirm ADB971002 is on Warrington Yard in the headshunt next to 56018 (as of 17 Feb). It is definitely an ex GUV with roller shutter doors and there are 2 other ex works yellow vehicles with it both appear to be ex NPCSS vehicles (the middle one probably an ex 944xx van). Unable to ID numbers of the other 2 but could be 971000, 001?

This was always intended to be numbered into the new series as ADB971000 but never carried. However a van carrying ADB971002 has now been noted at Warrington with 975464 & 975486. Anyone know any more please? Does this mean we also have an ADB971001 somewhere? And what has happened to 977998 & 977999?!

This vehicle is now painted Maroon - so as to match its other West Coast stablemates.

Both mk2's are owned by DBS (claimed by Transrail in 1994/5).

I believe I have a colour pic which shows this vehicle at Crianlarich in 1984 (behind the van) in company with one of the huge ex-LMS sleeper firsts, which was used for staff accommodation. The link to the photo is: http://www.jimtinnion.fotopic.net/p9129095.html

I thought the unit which received the livery modifications referred to above circa 1985 was DB 975637 & DB 975664 which were I believe were disposed of by Mayer Newman? at Snailwell, after a period dumped at Cambridge after withdrawal. I am not sure where DB 975349 & DB 975539 were disposed of but the presence of blue asbestos in both units sealed their fate. I thought DB 975349 & DB 975539 remained as pictured until disposed of.

This unit later received a strange version of what can only be described as a "reversed regional railways-type" livery. Did it survive into preservation? The GRCW style has a pleasant old-fashioned look about it.

Assume the InterCity went BG went with them. Who are they actually owned by?
