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.
