Midland Railway & LMS

D418 was a three compartment van of which some 25 were built in 1893 and numbered 517-41. Lighting may have been altered to gas some time after 1902. It is likely that torpedo ventilators were added at some stage after 1902, two per compartment either side of the oil lamps. Again it is possible that a hand brake was fitted some time after 1904. Eleven vans survived to 1933 but they were extinct by September 1944, with the exception of a departmental van which survived to 1956.
