Goods Wagons

This ex-London Brighton & South Coast Railway 4-wheeled 5 plank open goods wagon is stored at Kidderminster Railway Museum.

The 5 plank opens were the most numerous of the LBSCRLondon Brighton & South Coast Railway's wagon fleet. The company, however, never adopted RCHRailway Clearing House standards and as a result under Southern ownership these vehicles suffered withdrawals or put in departmental stock. Built with sheet rails these vehicles later had the ends cut down and tarp rails removed. A restored example, 3346 from 1914, can be found at the Bluebell Railway.
