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).
