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.

Dapol 4 Plank Wagon B.W. Co 1114 is an OO gauge model presented in a pristine finish. It uses NEM / tension lock couplings and is capable of negotiating a minimum radius of 1. The livery matches the British West Coast Railway and the manufacturer part number is 4F-040-015. The model represents the era of the Big Four railway companies – LNER, LMS, GWR and SR.

The full‑size 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 Only two hundred examples were constructed before the design was superseded by the later 5‑plank wagon, which, with its higher sides, proved more versatile. Consequently this first batch remained the only one ever produced.

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