Model details

Prototype information

The Oxford Warwell A Steel Carrier DM748305 Diamond Bogie model is a representation of a British Rail wagon. It features a pristine finish and is painted in British Steel Grey livery with a blue colour. The model measures 205 mm in length and represents a vehicle in the British Rail Blue period.

The Warwell wagon was introduced in 1942 for the transportation of Sherman tanks during the Second World War. After the war, these wagons continued to be used for various purposes, including the transport of long loads of rod, rail, and bars. The model is specifically designed to depict this later use, with an altered body configuration to accommodate such loads.

This model is part of the Oxford Rail product range and is designed to accurately represent the British Rail wagon as it would have appeared during the British Rail Blue era.
