    It's currently next to E470818 which looks the same as the one in the picture.

    Anybody know the meaning of the wording on the side. I think it reads 'Class 158 TCA store'.??

    as this vehicle is in NSE livery I doubt that it reads 158 it would probably read 168, NSE didn't have 158s until about 2 years ago when the ex TPE units went south

    TCA stands for...TRACK CIRCUIT ACTUATOR, which is like a large arial that is fitted to the bogies of the units so that they can be detected by track circuits (most tampers are fitted with them) , so i'd imagine that this was used to store parts for these fittings

    Its much older than this and therefore I think it says Class 165 but I will have to dig out the original photo...

    Yeah that sounds about right. It could be referring to the Chiltern Railways fleet of Class 165's that have to run over LUL lines between Harrow and Amersham?

    this van was stabled inside the main hall off the railway museum on 04/04/2009 on the rear road leading into the workshop area, it definatly had something to do with 16xxxx units, I think it was 166s
