HISTORY

Those built from 1924-6 had square ends and no sheet rail and were given diagram 1364, many of those built with round ends were also cut down to square ends and most but not all were re-diagrammed in the registers to diagram 1364. General withdrawal on the mainland of the diagram 1369 and diagram 1364 open wagons took place between the years 1944-7, and relatively few survived to receive British Railways livery.

Isle of Wight

450 of these wagons were shipped to the Isle of Wight between 1924 and 1931 with one in 1934 and a final six in 1947. All the Isle of Wight wagons had square ends (diagram 1364); except the first 20 (diagram 1369), these were later altered becoming diagram 1364. Unlike those on the mainland these wagons survived well into British Railways ownership and gained BR unfitted grey livery with lettering on black patches. By 1955 320 remined in service, and this was reduced to 150 by 1962.
