Details

Much like the 6-plank open wagons, these were general-purpose vehicles with a 10-ton load capacity, built by the GCR for both its own use and on behalf of the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC). They featured dropside doors on both sides, GCR lifting-link brakes, and ribbed buffers, making them versatile for a wide range of freight. Of the 50 wagons originally built for the CLC in 1919, 49 survived until 1930, when they were split between the LNER and LMS in the same manner as the Dia. 17B Covered Vans. They joined surviving GCR examples already transferred to LNER ownership at grouping, though details of their subsequent service are scarce.
