Ex LMS 20-ton brake van (M731242) arrived recently at Leeming Bar and will be a very useful bit of kit on our railway. The wagon is privately owned and will receive some cosmetic attention over the coming months. (30/04/2026)

The inside of the ex LMS 20-ton brake van (M731242). The little alcove with windows allows the guard to see both forwards and backwards, without the dangers involved in sticking his head out. Looking generally in good condition. However some cosmetic attention will be needed. (07/04/2026)
