GRCW open wagons

[Lissadell]

Apologies first, this is not something I know much about!

 

Reading on the net, I came across some details of a wagon restoration that the Bluebell have been involved in.

 

Namely, 87782, a 10T 5plank open built by GRCW for the Great Western - part of a big supply contract.

 

Could I ask please, did this outside builder supply any of its 6plank side and end opens to the GW?

 

Thanks

The GRCW did supply some of it’s own 6 plank wagons to the GWR on short term hire (6 weeks, 6 months or a couple of years).  They had running numbers that started with a 0 which can be seen on those that received GW livery.  

 

All the GRCW built wagons that were built to order were to GWR designs.
