Manufacturer description

Introduced in 1900, the only 6 wheel Brakes built by the GWR. These are coded AA1 and were braked on all wheels. Suited for 22 tons - or later 24 tons. They were ideal for the heavy coal trains operated over parts of the network in that period.

Later the lower planking on the bodies was covered by metal sheathing - our model will reproduce both Planked and Plated variants. Many vehicles survived through to BR days and were not withdrawn until the 1950's.

We have teamed up with Dan at DH Loco Worx & Kyle at TRS Trains to bring this model to life, with a light dusting this brings the model closer to true to life as operations and weather takes its toll.

Model details

Oxford Rail has released a new model of a 6 wheel Bordesley Junction wagon, specifically a weathered variant. This model represents a vehicle from the British Railways Early Crest period.

The 6 wheel Bordesley Junction wagons were built by the Great Western Railway in 1900, featuring a unique 'AA1' coding and all-wheel braking. They were designed to haul heavy coal trains and had a capacity of 22 tons, or 24 tons later on.

The model aims to replicate both the planked and plated versions of the wagon, with many of the original vehicles still in operation during the British Railways era and not being withdrawn until the 1950s.

Oxford Rail has collaborated with Dan at DH Loco Worx and Kyle at TRS Trains to bring this model to life, with a weathered finish that simulates the effects of wear and tear over time.
