    The East Anglian Railway Museums recently restored Pooley van was out on display during the recent 1960's themed event. The wagon (960701) was built in 1911 for the GER at Stratford and was one of the first items of rolling stock to arrive on site in 1971.

    A photo of it can be found here: http://khardy.zenfolio.com/p301203166/hd79e62#hd79e62

    To the right is 1953 built Special Cattle van No. E765W, possibly one of only two built.

    The same sort of special cattle that Tesco got in trouble for putting in their lasagne a couple of years ago!
