From the 1870s over 400 3-plank open waggons were built by the GWR. Intially with rounded ends, these were later cut down.
From the early 1900s the GWR built many 5-plank open waggons. Intial batches were fitted with a bar along the middle to support a tarpaulin sheet to cover the cargo.
From the early 1900s the GWR built many 7-plank open waggons. Most had a door flap and one end to allow tipping to empty mineral cargo loads. Many lasted into the 1950s and beyond.

From the early 1900s the GWR built many 4-plank ‘open C’ longer waggons. In-game they carry cargo for the Construction Materials production chain, whereas in real life they were originally for carrying timber and later used for steel tubes.

Update: Improved texture for 5-plank versions (added nrml map). British 5-plank life from 50 to 40.
Update: Added 4 plank versions for construction material production chain.
Updated with the models also available as placeable scenery Assets.
Update: Added a new model GWR 5-plank (S), a sheeted version covered with a tarpaulin when loaded, but same spec as the original 5 plank model. Looks better for carrying grain, which was normally carried in sacks in the UK, rather than in bulk.
