uilt for use on the extensive network of 2ft/600mm narrow gauge lines which served the trenches of WW1 the vans were intended to provide for delivery of supplies and evacuation of casualties. The tall vans proved unsuitable for use over the uneven and often temporary track of the front lines, so were mostly confined to rear areas and workshops. The vans proved far more successful after the war on more permanent narrow gauge railways and tramways, including farm and estate railways.

The Southern Railway gained the narrow gauge Lynton and Barstaple Railway line at the grouping in 1923 and invested in supplying some new wagons for the line, including bogie box vans. While so far as is known no WD wagons were purchased two mobile cranes were bought for the L&B line.

Wagons features:
- metal spoked wheels with pin point bearings
- NEM pockets fitted to bogies with standard 009 couplings as used by Liliput and Bachman USA
- working four side and two end doors that slide to open (covered goods wagon only)
- stretchers fitted in WWI covered goods van
- detailed open framed bogie design, brakes in line with wheels
- bogie with or without hand brake equipment
- finely moulded detail, all chains and latches represented
