25 ton 3 Axle Water Tank Wagon.
DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Hoo Junction Up Yard.
Date : 27/03/1988.
Type : Water Tank Wagon (ex Milk Tank).
Weight : 25 t GLW / 12.2 t Tare.
Number : KDW 2952.
Number Series : W 2947W to W 2952W.
Builder : 1942 by GWR Swindon Works.
TOPS Code : ZRV (ex TMV).
Lot no.: 1668.
Diagram no.: GWR O51.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
As with the last upload of the demountable tanks this 3-axle ex Milk Tanker had seen departmental use as a steam breakdown crane water supply tank as part of the Stewarts Lane Depot BTU (Breakdown Train Unit) support fleet operated by the CM&EE department. Similarly to the previous image this vehicle too had been claimed by the S&TE (Signal & Telegraph Engineers) department after its BTU days had ended and has visited the C&W sidings at Hoo Junction for re-lettering to its new owner with a KDW prefix to the number instead of ADW and "Breakdown Train" painted out on the tank barrel.
The Milk tank fleet was considered passenger rated rolling stock until February 1970 when remaining vehicles were transferred to the freight stock fleet and lost the suffix letter if carried. W 2952 was a Collett designed vehicle built to diagram O51 by the GWR which comprised 3 lots of 6 vehicles each constructed in 1938,42 & 43. I believe they were originally allocated to Unigate Dairies Ltd.
