In 1861, Joseph Wright & Sons built fifteen standard
(4’ 8½”) gauge four-wheel passenger brake vans for the
Paddington to Birkenhead services of the Great Western Railway. These Passenger
Brake Vans were twenty-one feet long with a twelve foot wheelbase. No 59 is
depicted here soon after being built. Details of all fifteen vehicles are given
