    The VCT database has an entry for an LMS open wagon chassis, number 105114. It is listed as having been scrapped at the Gwili Railway. By the looks of the photo, it looks like a diagram 1667 open wagon chassis:

    Meanwhile the Glos-Warks Railway had an LMS diagram 1667 open wagon chassis delivered in about 2005. The number is unknown as the bottom half of the number plate has either broken off or been forced off. The chassis is now used to house the body of GWR banana van 105521 until a suitable GWR underframe can be acquired.

    Is it possible that the Gwili Railway wagon (105114) was actually moved to the Glos-Warks and not scrapped? I am not aware of any other diagram 1667 opens being preserved, which is why I ask.

    Also, if anyone has details for 105114 (e.g. build year, lot, builder) then I would be very grateful.

    thanks
