Bogie Bolster A (GWR Macaw H) Profile and Models

Bogie Bolster A (GWR Macaw H)

Macaw H No. 107328 at the Winchcombe, Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway in June 2010. © Hugh Llewelyn

The GWR produced a wide range of "Bogie Bolster" wagons for a variety of purposes. One such example was the Macaw H (later referred to as the Bogie Bolster A), a relatively short design with a light weight of 20 tons. Many were constructed and they survived well into BR usage. They were useful for a wide variety of loads including tree trunks and timber beams, but were also used for infrastructure and departmental purposes.
