This van works between 975046 and 975076 in the Tribometer train.

Normally seen between 975046 and 975076 this van is seen here away from its usual companions for probably the first time in many years. All three have recently moved here for preservation at Ruddington having spent many years stored out of use in the depths of Derby RTC...

This van is one on ten COV-ABs built at Shildon in 1970 and fitted with R&DDs 'Taperlite' suspension which was known as HSFV5.
Eventually the experiment was abandoned and the rest of the vehicles were returned to normal friction link suspension.

It was "Owned" by a railway rather than "Preserved", but now it's not.

Seems to be part of the big clearout at Ruddington. Anything or anyone that doesn't agree with the current management is OUT.

Should have added that the converted BSK/DBSK that was also part of the tribometer is also on its way out.

Indeed - 975076 - although I have heard this is not for scrap but movement elsewhere?

975076 is indeed on its way out from Ruddington, but thankfully is going to another preserved line for further reuse :)

Just for readers of this thread, The Trib Train BSK is leaving the railway. Other than that, I wouldn't take much notice of Mr Nicholas's comments regarding the GCR(N)'s present management, as this forum isn't the place for these kinds of irrelevent comments.

Does anyone know if this van was originally intended to become 200229 in the air-braked wagon number series at all please?
3 January 2015 - IAN RAILS
Hi John
200220 to 200229 were originally to be numbered
787720 to 787729 as of 01-69 but this was changed to the current number as of 05-69
