4C09 LSWR 44ft Bullion Van

LSWR Dwg 2111 SR Diag 940 Built in 1912/1913 for the extensive gold bullion traffic in connection with the great ocean liners sailing out of Southampton Docks. When the bullion traffic dwindled they were re-classified as luggage vans and ran until 1953. Even this was not the end as all but two became engineers vehicles.
