The wagon being 37 70 6955 273-7, which has had an automatic canopy roof fitted. FEAs 643001-24 previously operated by Fastline Freight are now in the hands of DRS, having moved to Daventry. Two new ‘Super Tench’ wagons have been converted from ‘Parr’ sleeper carrying wagons. Still coded YQA they are DC967560 and DC967608 and now sport 3 x 20ft mesh modules on the underframe. WAGON REVIEW: 25T ‘Queen Mary’ bogie Southern Region Brake Van The first SR bogie brake vans were converted from redundant LB&SCR bogie motor coaches for the electrification project in 1934. They had large sand boxes on the veranda ends, two droplights with ventilator bonnets and self contained buffers (S56261-S56281). The later vehicles (S56282-S56306) were purpose built for express trains, but were constructed with horizontally planked wooden bodies measuring 36ft 6in long with an 8ft wheelbase. The palatial style of these vans gave them the nick name ‘Queen Mary’. They had excellent riding qualities and due to their long life, many entered departmental service and could be found all over the network.
