Wagon to the right looks a bit like 042466 (ex York) ??

I think you are probably right!

The lack of end vents suggests that it is a former meat or banana van. The bright highlights on the axle also suggest that parts of the roof and floor as missing. It will almost certainly be a unique asset when it is restored!

Martin,
It's an insulated meat van.
There is a ventelated meat van (4 vents each end) preserved too (see 083315).
Banana vans seem to be rather more common; they seem to have a blank section of metal where the vent would normally be, rather than corrugations right across; there are also two different styles of banana van end but the difference is quite subtle. The NRM have one, there is also one at the Lavender Line and maybe others.

To the right is indeed 042466, ex-York. Can anyone confirm that the latter's earlier number was 49208? If not, does anyone know what it was?
