Although the ID of this van isnt 100% confirmed it is thought to be this (via a process of elimination!) Charlie tells me:
"DB 786893 - Tool Van (Jarvis owned, stored) -
last confirmed sighting at York July 2002, couldn't be identified as there in January 2005.
DB 787276 - Shunting Truck/Reach Wagon (Jarvis owned, ballast cleaner RM plant) -
last confirmed sighting at York January 2005 (but not the one we are looking for)
KDB 786917 - EWS owned, condemned -
last confirmed sighting at York July 2002, couldn't be identified as there in January 2005.
ADB 787327 - Wheel Wagon (Jarvis owned, surplus) -
no confirmed sighting, couldn't be identified as there in January 2005
DB 787226 - Shunting Truck/Reach Wagon (Jarvis owned, ballast cleaner RM plant) -
last confirmed sighting at York January 2005 (but not the one we are looking for).
DB 786986 - Brake force Vehicle (EWS owned, for re-allocation AB ?) -
last confirmed sighting at York January 2005 (but not the one we are looking for) - I have this as being cut.
DB 786996 - Jarvis owned, withdrawn -
The one we know is there
There were 400 of these Ferry Vans built in 2 batches, all to design 1/227 -
786873 to 787022, built by Pressed Steel
787098 to 787347, built at Ashford.
Although all of these were officially 20t, a lot of references to the 2nd batch put them as 25t, so there are probably differences between the 2 batches.
Having looked at the pictures, of the 2 candidates (786893 or 787327), I would lean towards 787327 (particularly as nobody has been able to identify it) - see picture of 787329 on VCT.
The January 2005 sightings were obtained from Midland Wagons (message 6427), which is pretty comprehensive (actual identifications)."
