I think some were also lost at Triangle sidings and Hammersmith.
I didn't realise trains were lost in the Triangle as well as ships and
planes.
They lost a Circle Line train for a week once.
They found it in Rickmansworth sidings.

I'm told that, when trains full of scrap went into scrapyards, not all
the wagons managed to come back out.

Crewe 1998 - four locomotives, 30 wagons, 9 carriages disposed of to
heritage users ?

ISTR some years ago there was one case in the USA involving railway
vehicles disappearing and then reappearing elsewhere after a respray
and someone being done in the UK after wagons disappeared in a scrap
yard.
