Rail Adventure Habfis IWA wagons

[87electric]

Can anyone match the named (Oliver & Earnest) Habfis IWA sliding door wagons to their numbers? I have 802797017-6 and 802797018-4. A quick pass by Kings Norton sidings alerted me to the names on the top of them.

I think you may be mixing up two different types of van, the Habfis IWAs are grey and to the best of my knowledge have never been named, the named vans are the blue NVAs named by their previous owner Meridian Generic, those vans are numbered 96602 (Henry), 96603 (Oliver), 96605 (Ernest) & 96607 (Phillip)

Thank you for the clarification here. You can tell I don't do wagons but I did try to research them with no luck. Noted in my book now. Ta.
