LNER Bogie Vans

[mojo]

Does anyone know of, or know where to find, running numbers and home depots of the former NER G7 bogie tranship vans?

If you can find anyone with a D & S kit, I believe they were in the instructions.

Danny must have got them from somewhere - are they in a NERA publication?

According to Tatlow LNER wagons vol 2 NER G7 vans were numbered -

Built 1906 = 102496-7
Built 1907 = 106303-400

There a photos in that book of wagons in NER days branded York,
Leeds Wellington Street.

Dans instructions only list static store van locations when withdrawn.

NERA Express 187 has an article on the G7 vans and a list of allocations
and numbers for NER days from information from the NER wagon registers at Kew,
I don't know static these were or if the LNER kept these allocations.

102496/7 York North Junction Shed.
106302-20 York
106325-34, 106396-99 Gateshead.
10625-34, 106341-50, 106361-5, 106372-78 Forth Goods Newcastle.
106335-38, 106355-60, 106366-71, 106379-89 Hull.
106339-40 Leeds Wellington Street.
106351-2 Leeds Marsh Lane.
106353-4 Starbeck.
106390-95 West Hartlepool.
106400 Monkwearmouth.

Hope this helps.

A further question.
Would these vans be run in a dedicated train or would they be mixed in with general usage vans/wagons?

They'd be in whatever train could convey them, whether still in dedicated tranship use or general goods.

As an aside, I found a picture of one in a No. 2 Goods in Eric Neve's book recently. I think it's the only one I've seen of one in traffic outside the specialist wagon books.
