In 1888 the GWR built 99 Small cattle waggons to the W3 diagram. Some were used into the late 1940s. From 1902 to 1911 nearly 600 Large cattle waggons were made by the GWR to the W5 diagram. Later more than 250 W1 waggons were fitted with vacuum brakes and also became W5's. Some were still used into the 1960s, whilst others were converted to carry beer barrels and a few for use inspecting tunnels. Sizes for cattle waggons on UK railways were standised towards the end of the 19th century, the resulting 'Small' size was 13ft long, the resulting 'Large' size was 18ft long. Only the British versions supports custom colours. No aging or user logo. Update: Improved detail. Update: The models are now available as placeable scenery Assets.
