Information

A step change in GWR open wagon design occurred in 1902 when a fifth plank was added to its four-plank design. The five plank became the GWR#s standard wagon design and, essentially, variations on the post-1904 version with a 3ft 3in deep and 8ft body continued to be built well into the 1940s. We thought we ought to offer GWR Dias. O11 & O15 opens some of its five-plank cousins too: the Diagram O11 and the Dia. 015.

Both were introduced in 1911 and are virtually identical: they have a 10t carrying capacity and use a 16ft underframe with GWR self-contained buffers. However, the Dia. 11 was unfitted whereas the Dia. 15 had vacuum brakes. The GWR built 10,815 Dia. O11s between 1911-1919 and 2,105 Dia. O15s up to 1922. It#s not known exactly when the last of these wagons were withdrawn as they slowly disappeared over the years but they last well into BR days. Several Dia. O11s survive.
