Class I (class M before 1900) GSR type single bolster wagons |
Eighteen 12'-0" long single bolster wagons were built for the G.S.R. to the same design as the wagons built for the MRWA as their class E. I do not yet know the GSR classification or numbers of these wagons. Most of the class was converted to class N just before the First World War at about the time that the QA class bogie bolster wagons were built. Presumably the bolsters were removed and they were used as shunters' floats. A single pair of wagons survived until the mid thirties and were then written off. |
