Prototype 12 Ton 10ft W/b Plywood Van B785122

[Old Buffer]

All photo's taken at NVR. First photo is showing the end of this van although the shot is of a planked van. There is a difference in the ends ( compare to photo 13 which shows the end of the planked van), only just noticed while I was posting the planked van.

Really useful shots, particularly the ones of the plywood doors, it is interesting to see the texture, although that would be hard to replicate.

As mentioned earlier the corrugated ends of the vans were different, various wagons had either 2 or 3 sections depending on build date, as you will see the 1st pic is the planked van with a 3 section end, pic 2 is the plywood van with the 2 section end, these are close ups of the upper parts with the vent.
I was going to post them in the planked van photo's as well but hope people will look at both threads.
