Manufacturer description

PROTOTYPE

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.

Dapol 4 Plank GWR 46670 is a 00 gauge model of a Great Western Railway open wagon. The wagon is reproduced in the original GWR grey livery and fitted with NEM and tension‑lock couplings. The model carries the Dapol part number 4F‑040‑029 and represents the Big Four railway era.

The original four‑plank wagon was built in the early 1900s by the GWR as a prototype to assess a general‑purpose open wagon design. Two hundred units were produced, but the design was superseded by the later five‑plank wagon, which proved more versatile, making this the only batch of the four‑plank type.

The model includes profiled wheels, accurately applied livery, a finely moulded body with a load, and NEM pockets with self‑centring couplings, offering a detailed addition to a 00 gauge rolling stock collection.
