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.

The Dapol 4 Plank Hudson Bros 16 wagon is a model of a British railway wagon from the early 20th century. It is finished in a weathered condition and represents the Hudson Bros livery. The model requires a minimum radius curve of 1 to operate smoothly and features NEM/Tension lock couplings.

The model is designed to represent a 4 plank wagon, a design that was built by the Great Western Railway in the early 1900s. Two hundred wagons of this design were produced, but it was ultimately deemed unsuccessful and was not continued in production. The 5 plank wagon was found to be more versatile and was subsequently adopted as the standard design.

Key features of the model include profiled wheels, accurately applied livery, and a finely moulded body with a load. The model is 82mm in length, 33mm in width, and 28mm in height. It is designed to run on OO gauge tracks and is typical of the period represented by the Big Four rail companies, including the LNER, LMS, GWR, and SR.
