    Hi Guys
    I'm trying to determine an unidentifed Mess/Tool Van ex Toad at the G&WR.
    The following is a photo taken from the NRM of DW56516 from 1992...

    I have a photo at the G&WR from 2006....

    These look almost identical even with the many years diffence between the dates.

    Is it possible if someone can confirm that this is no longer owned by the NRM and if so what actually happened to it?
    Cheers
    Steve

    That's it. It was removed from the Collection by Board of Survey some years ago and has now joined a collection at Toddington where I know it will be restored in due course.
