Like many GWR wagon builds these plywood sided vans were built to two diagram numbers, one for wagons with vacuum train brakes and another for the identical wagons with hand brakes only.
These GWR diagram V36 and V37 plywood sided vans continued to be built after WW2, with the last GWR orders being completed by British Railways during 1949. 100 vans were built with vacuum train brake under BR wagon diagram 1/203 and a further 230 unfitted vans were given diagram 1/205. Through the 1950s British Railways made an effort to convert as many trains as possible to being formed entirely with wagons fitted with vacuum train brakes under the control of the driver. Many of the newest pre-Nationalisation wagons built through the 1940s with 10ft (or longer) wheelbase steel underframes were retro-fitted with vacuum brakes, including the GWR built V37 and BR diagram 1/205 wagons.
