Parkside Kits OO PC82 GWR 10-Ton China Clay Wagon Kit DIa. O13

Designed and built for the specific purpose of hauling Cornish china clay these wagons had an end door to allow rapid discharge and brake gear arranged at the fixed end both sides. 500 were built in 1913, designated diagram O13, but when replacement became due in the early 1950s BR built more wagons to essentially the same design. While the GWR-built wagons were withdrawn in the 1950s the last of this design, modified with ridged tarpaulin covers and widely known as 'clay hoods' (kit available from Ratio), lasted until the 1980s.
