Model of a GWR cattle wagon to the GWR standard design from the early 1900s and adopted by British Railways.
Originally built in three sizes to suit the needs of the farmer the Great Western adopted a simple lockable partition device to adjust the size of a large wagon as required, building these long wheelbase wagons suitable for travelling in fast goods trains. When not needed for livestock cattle wagons were often utilised for perishable traffic including fruit & vegetables, notably broccoli from Cornwall, and fresh flowers from the Channel Islands.
