    Hi Guys
    There was a Gunpowder Van Body, 887156 located at Haworth. This has been replaced with a container. Does anyone know if the body has been scrapped or moved elsewhere on the line?
    Cheers
    Steve

    I'll try to find out for you. How long ago did you see it at Haworth?

    Hi Matt
    My last sighting date for this was back in late 2010 but I'm sure it was there more recently. The info was passed on to me via an article in the recent KWVR Magazine Push & Pull.
    Cheers

    I've spoken to the author of the P&P article. Civils have started using the new(ish) container for storage due to the poor state of the van body although the article suggests that they replaced the van with the container, which actually isn't the case.

    I'm going to ask someone who's on the Railway this week to try to get an update on the van body if I can.
