G.W.R. 10 Ton Ballast Wagon

'STARFISH' - built from 1936, this design was also built by BR.  Includes D/C brake lever to make P15.  Many of the GWR wagons were used to carry loco sand from Swindon to loco sheds. Some wagons remained in use on BR until about 1980, or thereabouts. It is thought that the fishkind "Starfish" was never actually painted on the wagons. (P15 shown above)
