This LMS six-wheeled vehicle would normally have been used as extra luggage accommodation on passenger services, or as part of a parcels train. Inside, the van is completely open, having no partitions or separate guard's compartment. There are corridor connections at each end. A small stove is provided for heating. These were in fact referred to as 'Stove Vans' by British Rail, as they could be used as guard's vans on parcels trains not fitted with steam heating.

This van was purchased by the Sentinel Trust from British Railways at Hexthrope Yard, Doncaster. After purchase it was moved by rail to Aylesbury, arriving there on the 29th May 1975. The van was then moved to Quainton by road, as a track slew from the mainline was not due in the near future. No. 33014 arrived at Quainton on 3rd July 1975, this vehicle is currently in British Rail blue livery. For a number of years the stove van served as the Sentinel Trust's accomodation and mess van.

A project has now started to convert this vehicle internally to be suitable to provide accommodation for disabled passengers on Upyard trains.
