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 details

Dapol Clee Hill Granite 4‑plank wagon – Weathered is a 00/207‑scale model of a British open wagon. The model is finished in a weathered livery, bears the Clee Hill Granite colour scheme and carries NEM/Tension‑lock couplings. Its manufacturer part number is 4F‑040‑004 and it represents the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).

The original four‑plank wagon was built by the Great Western Railway in the early 1900s as a trial design for a general‑purpose open wagon. Only two hundred were constructed and the design was soon superseded by the later five‑plank wagon, which proved more versatile, making this the sole batch ever produced.

The model is highly detailed, featuring profiled wheels, accurately applied livery, a finely moulded body complete with a load, and NEM pockets with self‑centring couplings.

Dimensions are 82 mm in length over buffer, 33 mm in width and 28 mm in height.
