Longer than a standard goods van, the ‘Bloaters’ sported three pairs of doors on each side and the first, the Diagram S8s, had louvres in the body sides and ends and these were followed by the S9s which were the same except for the addition of shell roof ventilators. For the Diagram S10 the GWR did away with the side and end louvres and this model depicts one such S10, albeit in later life without the roof ventilators it would have been built with. The detailed underframe features brake gear and pipe runs, whilst footboards are separately fitted to each side of the van and metal spoked wheelsets are employed. At either end can be found sprung buffers, along with tension lock couplings which are mounted to a close-coupling mechanism via NEM pockets.
