I am slowly going through my recently deceased Father's photographs. Although he made pretty good notes, there are some I was hoping someone may be able to identify further.

The first is a 'Gresley bogied vehicle with open end doors' taken at Eastleigh in May 1986. The number is obscured but looks like it ends in '32' or '82'

The second is what looks like a car transporter ramp vehicle although it may have something to do with OHLE? It was taken at Carlisle in April 1994, notes have it as '492882' but I doubt that is correct as I can't find any reference to it.

Lastly is a shot in the dark - Stoneblower at the Mid-Hants Railway - July 1999. Looks new, must have been one of the first batch but no idea as no numbers visible.

Thanks Dave.

First one looks familiar but need a bit more time!

Carlisle is almost certainly motorail loading ramp 96452

Stoneblower - 80208/9/10 were all new in 1999 but no sightings of any of them at Watercress Line sadly.
