Over 300,000 16 ton steel bodied open wagons were constructed to orders from the Ministry of Transport or Ministry of War Transport during WW2 and later British Railways. A number of designs evolved as private industry contractors used different construction methods and door options.

This kit builds into a model closely matching diagram 1/102 with side, end and bottom doors. This design had a solid top rail, omitting the top flap doors fitted to several other diagrams and to the later standard British Railways diagram 1/108 wagons (Parkside kit and Dapol/Lionheart RTR).

On rebuilding many minerals had the top flap doors replaced with solid plating and continuous top rails, however the more robust welded end doors were fitted to rebuilt wagons in place of any surviving pressed doors. It may be possibly to combine the Peco and Parkside kits, adapting the welded end door from the Parkside kit to fit the Peco body and similarly fitting the Peco end door to the Parkside body to create one of the diagram 1/108 wagons with the pressed end door.
