Details: After I added the photo of London Transport brake van FB578 last month, Damon got in touch to say the wagon still survives, having been preserved at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Quainton Road. He kindly supplied a couple of photos he took of it in recently-restored condition on 4th August 2013. You can read more about this unusual wagon at https://www.brc-stockbook.co.uk/lt_brake_2.htm. Also visible is ballast hopper wagon HW418, one of 23 (HW412 to HW434) built for London Transport by Gloucester in 1951 and used until the early 1980s. They are broadly similar to the BR 'Catfish' type. In the background are a grounded Mk2 coach body, a Mk1 coach and (at the left) an articulated, steam-powered 3-coach railcar built by Sentinel and Metro-Cammell in 1951 for use by the Egyptian National Railway.
