o-22-5-gwr-parcels-railcar-34

After the successful introduction of streamline diesel railcars by the GWR in the 1930s, it was decided to built 20 more, but this time construction would be carried out in the Swindon works.

The new design was more angular, and included 2 sets of twin car units, another parcels railcar, and the rest standard single ralcars.

The twin railcars had gangway connections, one car including a small buffet. Additional coaches could be added in between, normally only oe. twin car no 37 was damaged by fire in 1947, so single car no 33 was rebuilt with a gangway end and coupled to car no 38.
