Hello
I visited Mangapps in August this year and I was specifically looking for this vehicle. I could not find this during this visit, but there are 3 separate sightings of it at Mangapps on here since 2024.
When I spoke to John Jolly about it's whereabouts he said that it was only on the railway for a short time and believed that the owner took it to somewhere in Anglesey afterwards.
Can either David, Obar or Kev advise where it was located at Mangapps and how it was identified please?
Thanks in advance
Martin Lear

Picture is of vehicle in the former platform 11A at Glasgow Central which was beyond the station roof and onto the bridge over the River Clyde. This platform is no longer as it was extended in 2009 through the car park which was between platforms 11 and 12 to become platform 12 with the High Level station going from 13 to 15 platforms.

Thanks all. Yes I was told from another source that body of 99526 was moved elsewhere nearby and in a poor state so may now be scrapped.

Ben
If it's any help I have the body of 99524 as moved from store at North Wall, Dublin to the Killashee Hotel, Naas, Co. Kildare in 7/09, then moved to Caragh Nurseries, Stickins, Caragh in 2019 and grounded in use as a garden design studio numbered 6203 and named CU NA MARA. For 99526, I have the body moved from North Wall to Killashee Hotel in 7/09 and grounded for further use. Hope this helps.

Thanks. I've updated this entry but then noticed 99524 was also listed as Killashee House Hotel and has a sighting from 2019 at Caragh Nurseries. Is it definitely 99526 at Caragh Nurseries or are both here? Or one at each location?

Hi - I tried to reach out to you on Twitter/X. I was wondering if you can help with a bit more information about this photo please? Curious about the lettering below the running number specifically. Thank you.

This carriage still exists at Naas, County Kildare. However, it is now at Caragh Nurseries. It was renovated and spruced up in 2019 and now sports a two-tone off-green and grey livery and is used as a new garden design studio. The people who work there are quite used to rail enthusiasts turning up to have a look, and there is a cafe on the site.

Now unnumbered and has lost its elaborate LMS livery in favour of a dull maroon (and is starting to look the worse for wear).

It's being restored. It had four wheels when it arrived from Departmental Service and an extra wheelset has been sourced from a scrapped u/f so it will have six wheels when finished.

One thing I've been wondering recently, and maybe far too late to ask - as this was a powered unit, did it ever officially get assigned a TOPS class / unit number?
(It certainly never carried in service?)
Same question applies to the two 99980Xs.
