  This box van appears to have "DSxx466" on the side.What are the missing numbers? Also what is the Gresley coach and the LNER CCT next to it??

  I have assumed the missing numbers to be "042" although to be honest I didn't look closely on this occasion - just assumed it to be this. Can anyone confirm?

  The van on the right - again this didn't have any clear ID

  The coach on the left is DE320645 - a photo of this is now also on the site

  The van on the right is LMS CCT 35527 (later DM395951).

  This van may not have been listed in his books but it was certainly observed at York by Roger Butcher, in 6/1980 and 4/1982 (and maybe later but I have not looked at all my subsequent correspondence with him). Prior to that it was reported by the late Peter Mallaband on 9/9/1979 and 5/1980. Regrettably neither recorded more than 4w van with DS prefix. However, it is not DS466 (ex PMV), nor so far as I am aware DS42466 (which if it existed would have been ex LSWR, but looked quite different). I am not a wagon expert but it smacks of an SR box van to me. Perhaps someone with the latest Southern Wagons volume might look up whether a van numbered 42466 was built by the SR and compare the design.

  This van has now been removed from site as has neighbouring Gresley coach 320645. Other vehicle CCT 395951 is still on site.
