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 4 Plank Hudson Bros wagon is presented in OO gauge with a weathered finish. It is supplied with NEM/Tension‑lock couplings and a minimum radius of 1. The livery is that of the Hudson Brothers, and the model carries the manufacturer part number 4F‑040‑014. It represents the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).

The original 4‑plank open 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 Only two hundred were constructed before the design was superseded by the later five‑plank wagon, which proved more versatile. Consequently, this was the only batch of the 4‑plank type ever produced.

The model includes profiled wheels, accurately applied livery, a finely moulded body complete with a load, and NEM pockets with self‑centring couplings. Its dimensions are 82 mm in length over buffers, 33 mm in width and 28 mm in height.
