165 vacuum braked Borails were built to diagrams 1/482 and 1/483 in the late 1950s. The Borails were built with 8' plate bogies and vacuum brakes.

The original use for the Borails was to carry rail or beams. The usefulness of the design (particularly the Borail EC) soon saw them used for other uses including: second hand tractors transported from Cambridge to Fishguard/Holyhead; and ordnance containers/military vehicles to Donnington. The Borails remained as built from 1959 until 1981-2.
