    Hi Guys
    It's been brought to my attention that this wagon has left the Gwili, possibly to the SVR but not confirmed. Can anyone help as to its whereabouts. A rare wagon, one of two left to this diagram so I hope it's safe somewhere.

    Hi Steve, I can confirm that the Crocodile is still at the Gwili, on an isolated length of line at Conwil Station (non operational part of the railway).

    Cheers Matt.
    I'm assuming this is the place with the remains of the Milk Tank and an old van body buried in undergrowth? He did go here but looks like he didn't go far enough south for the Crocodile. I'm sure when I visited this spot several years ago the LNER vans were here as well then. Someone on the line did tell him it had left which is why I posted the query. Perhaps they classed this spot as 'left'

    Was going to say, I don't know where the SVR rumour has come from, we haven't got it. As to weather it has been sold, or is likely to move to the SVR, only the owner will know!
