This picture also shows No.9, (or later 59) van, ex-Welshpool 38089. In this form, it had a pair of opening top central doors (one is open in the picture) and a large horizontally hinged flap door for wheelbarrows etc to enter. Once it carried a horse. Another time it is reputed to have carried ten tons of cement bags from Tan y Bwlch to Dduallt to build the Deviation Viaduct there (ex inf Bunny Lewis) but I would find that incredible save that Bunny was obviously being truthful. He said it was solid on its springs. The vehicle plainly said on the side 'to carry two tons, evenly distributed'.
