Manufacturer description

The 4 plank wagon was built in the early 1900s by the GWR to determine which design would make the best general purpose open wagon. Two hundred wagons were built in total, however the design was not considered a success as the slightly later built 5 plank wagon, with its higher sides was found to be more versatile. As a consequence, this first batch was the only batch ever made.

MODEL

These model 4 plank open wagons are highly detailed and will be a great addition to your rolling stock.

The Dapol B W Co 4 Plank Wagon is a model railway wagon available for OO gauge layouts. It measures 82mm in length, 33mm in width and 28mm in height. The model features a pristine finish and accurately applied livery of B W Co.

The real-life 4 plank wagon was built by the Great Western Railway in the early 1900s as a test design for a general purpose open wagon. However, the design was not deemed successful and the Great Western Railway opted for a five plank wagon with higher sides instead.

The model features a finely moulded body with a load, profiled wheels and NEM pockets with self-centring couplings. It is designed to run on curves of a minimum radius of 1.
