Last I knew it was still there, however, it was on the recent DBS tender list and is reported to have been bought by EMR Kingsbury so could be on its way there for scrapping.

Could it be the one formerly stationed at Aberdeen Ferryhill for local trip work - hence an 09, rather than an 08?

I've been down in South Wales for the past week and saw this as we passed Swansea yard. I took a photo of it out of a FGW MK3 door window. Does anyone know what it is?

On another note, does anyone know the numbers of the PCVs that were sat in the same yard for many years?

Thanks in advance.

It's a steel plate carrier, TOPS code SPA. They were built in 1977 and were also used to carry steel coil. In the 1980s a lot entered engineers use, and were recoded as ZAA and named "Pike" in the sea creature based code used for engineers wagons. This one is one of the wagons in engineers service and is hence a ZAA, as you can just make out the remnants of Civil Engineers yellow and grey livery. I got this information from here: http://www.ltsv.com/w_profile_031.php Lots more info about this type of wagon on there if you are interested.

Thanks for that
I apologise, I evidently posted that in the wrong thread

I must have had two windows open in, one with this thread in and one with the new one I was creating in
