  Does anyone know why this coach seems to have Blue Star Multipul Working Equipment fitted (the orange jumper and white air pipe)?

  It looks like there may be a plated up window in the end, judging by the ripples in the chevrons - maybe it had seen use as a driving trailer? Although the 1993 photo shows no evidence of the blue star cable/air pipe, but the 2003 pic has the white engine control pipe!

  It's also now dual braked (or at least through piped) . I'd love to know why this vehincle has had these mod's carried out. Obviously it's for a reason as to through wire and through pipe is quite excessive not to mention expensive!

  this coach has been converted into a driving trailer and mess/tool van for the severn valley civil engineers dept, a picture showing the drivers desk can be seen at railfoto.fotopic.net .

  Having seen the picture mentioned in Colin's post above, I can say that i'm very impressed. That is a nice conversion. 10/10
