A couple in a yard in Ashbourne, they look pretty heavy duty, &
have been made into some sort of workshop/store.

I was wrong about these being ex-Midland Railway. According to
the GVB spotting book they are ex-Caledonian Railway. Mega rare,
I expect and very old. Since the CR ceased to exist in 1923
they're at least 90 years old but are probably much older than
that.

GVB anorak fact - some of those Southern vans were also built by
the LMS railway during 1942.
Yesterday's spot.

British Railways type BD container, built 1958 at St. Rollox
works, Glasgow. In a field next to the A168, near Thirsk.
What it would have looked like in service and on a Conflat
wagon.

Today, in a field near Upper Denby.
Ex-LMS (London, Midland & Scottish Railway) ventilated van,
probably from the 1940s.
