4 plank open GWR Profile and Models

 4 plank open GWR

41277 at Bewdley on the Severn Valley Railway in May 2017. ©Hugh Llewelyn

The Great Western Railway built thousands of four-plank open wagons with either single-sided lever brakes or DCI brakes. In 1902, they added a fifth plank to the design and in 1927, after the Board or Trade 'Either Side' brake regulations came into force, 18,700 single-sided four-plankers were given an additional lever brake and shoe. These wagons finally appeared in the diagram book as Diagram O21 and any that remained with DCI brakes became O5. Despite being built in huge numbers, these wagons remained in the shadows for all of their lives. They kept the railway moving but never grabbed headlines and it is therefore difficult to track when they finally disappeared from the network. The GWR 813 preservation fund managed to acquire the three remaining survivors but only one is in near-complete condition.
