GW MACAW BOGIE BOLSTER

Post by Bryan »

Currently at Newbridge depot on the NYMR we are starting to overhaul an ex GW MACAW bogie bolster DW103310
The question has arisen in how this wagon ended up at BREL YORK from where we purchased it in the 1980s.
We know it was used at York as a crane runner with Coles crane DE2524 which is also in our care.
It may also have been used as a crane runner prior to this.
Can anyone shed any light on its history before 1980?
