GWR Coral A Dia D2 glass wagon

GWR “Coral A” plate glass wagon. Built in 1908, the purpose of these wagons was to carry large plates of glass. The two inner racks were adjustable to hold the load securely. As far as I know, only one of these wagons still exists today (in a sorry state at Didcot railway centre).
