Atkins et al states that 103592 was part of Lot 901 which was the second Lot in V14 to have the 12 ton capacity rather than 10 ton. The Wagon Survey and GWR813.org both say 10 ton. I have gone with the information from Atkins, but any confirmation would be welcome. --Robin (talk) 16:02, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Featured article queries

I thought I'd do this wagon as this week's featured article, as Graham had uploaded a new picture. However it raised several questions.

  • The main wagon page and article both have the status as 'under repair'. Is it still?
  • What was the reason for the shunt which brought it out into the open in March?
  • It used to sit just in front of 4150, but I think the 4150 Fund and the EMF use other wagons as their stores. As the 1501 group were reported in SVRSevern Valley Railway news to be doing the overhaul, I therefore assume they are the ones who use it as a store. Can anyone confirm? (In passing, it appears never to have been attended to by the Wagon Group as far as I can see – Steve Peplow's wagon notes only referred to it in the context of the container replacement rather than as an overhaul in its own right).

Any thoughts welcome. --Robin (talk) 15:23, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
