There is actually a wagon in here, Borail Ds64752. Sometime it is due to take its place in the repair shed for a new floor at least.

Back in 1981 the group acquired 3 hoppers from Rowntree’s in York. Lettered up as A1, A2 and A3. They are it seems of ex GWR origin. In the photo here they are shown pre despatch from Rowntrees York factory in May 1981. Photo taken by the works photographer.

This wagon has now been sold and has moved to Cottesmore and the Rutland Railway for “Rocks by Rail”
