Built by Hurst Nelson & Co.
Ltd of Motherwell in 1943 and registered by the LMS. It has
a carrying capacity of 14 tons, equivalent to 6,000 gallons
of diesel oil. It was donated to the K&ESR by Shell in
1972 and restored to Shell Mex livery with red lettering.
The wagon stood in Bodiam yard for many years and was at one
time nearly mistakenly scrapped. It is now safe but will require
a full overhaul before it can re-enter traffic.
