This kit will produce a Great Western Railway outside framed early covered goods wagon. Some of these wagons were transferred to the Rhondda & Swansea Bay Railway around the time of the First World War.
This model represents the type with iron "bulb" type underframes which appeared around 1886. Instructions include as much historical detail as I could research however any further insight into the history of these vehicles would be welcome. The kit represents prototypes with single sided brake gear. The brake gear can be positioned for any 4mm/ft. scale gauge variant.
The wagons would have the early GWR red wagon livery until the transition to all over GWR grey livery occurred. They would have lasted until the 1930's or possibly later in various guises such as stores and sand vans.
