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 original 4‑plank open wagon was built by the Great Western Railway in the early 1900s as a trial to determine the most suitable general‑purpose open wagon design. Two hundred examples were produced, but the model was not regarded as successful; the later 5‑plank wagon, with higher sides, proved more versatile, making this the only batch of 4‑plank wagons ever constructed.

The Dapol model is highly detailed, featuring profiled wheels, accurately applied David Cook livery, a finely moulded body complete with a load, and NEM pockets with self‑centring couplings. Measurements are 82 mm long over buffers, 33 mm wide and 28 mm high.
