A bit late to this topic, but I found a couple of pictures of grounded van bodies. They were taken in 1980 at Cavan cattle market, which was based in the former railway goods shed of, I presume, the GNRi station. The pictures were taken with a 110 film camera. Hopefully of use to someone besides myself? The cattle auction was an experience I would recommend to everyone.

Nice - thank you. The brown one 18459 is in H van, but the grey one 15242 is a former GSWR ‘Big Boy’, longer and higher than most other vans. Originally it would have had planked sides but many were later sheeted.

I think the lower one is late GSWR.
