Class EB cold storage vans and EBE class explosives vans

The final class of W.A.G.R. four-wheeled cold storage van appeared in 1961. Production continued until 1965. These vans used the post-war 18'-0" steel underframe with modified springing in an effort to improve the riding. They were built as follows:

1961

1962

1964

1965

15301-15305

15306-15315

15316-15320

15321-15330

After a relatively uneventful career they were written off from 1979 as follows:

1979

15302, 15313/5/8, 15323/7, 15330

1985

15321

1986

15303/4/6/7/9, 15314/6/9, 15320/2/4-6

Some escaped this fate immediately to become class EBE explosive vans. These were 15301/8, 15310/7 and 15328/9 in 1981 and 15305, 15311/2 in 1982. These vans were written off in 1985 (15311) and 1986 (the rest).
