Information
Features

That first design was the 45t Open AB open wagon, better known as 'OAA'. It was a revolutionary open wagon for BR as it featured the new 20ft 9in wheelbase underframe, air brakes and upgraded running gear.

Ashford Works built the 100 new OAA (Nos. 100000-100099) with their distinctive long planked doors and metal ends. Subsequent designs had higher ends and steel replaced wood.

As part of BR#s air-braked network (a fore runner of Speedlink), the OAAs could be found across the network. But as newer wagons were introduced some were relegated to departmental duties or were modified for other duties, such as the five modified to carry Redland roof tiles.

The OAAs continued to be useful, however, particularly for carrying concrete blocks from Foster Yeoman's Merehead quarry to Acton. EWS rebuilt a batch of OAAs in the late 1990s for this work, replacing worn wooden doors with mesh.
