Bogie sides for GWR railcars

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.

Nos 19 to 33 single car passenger
No 34 single parcel railcar
Nos 35 and 36 twin set one
Nos 37(replaced by rebuilt no 33 in 1947) and 38 twin set two


O gauge (1/43.5 scale, 7mm/ft)
