D53	Traffic coal wagon, to carry 8tons	The standard LNWR 8ton coal wagon between 1881 and 1905. 15ft long, later 15ft 6in, c6,800 were built, of which probably c2,000 survived into LMS ownership. From 1903 some were upgraded to 10tons (D54).	×
D54	Traffic coal wagon (converted from 8 to 10tons)	In 1903 a start was made adding a fifth plank to D53 wagons and upgrading the axleboxes for 10tons. Between 1,000 and 3,000 were converted in this manner.	×
D55	Traffic coal wagon, Private Owner's standard specification, to carry 15tons	Three of the largest 8-plank RCH standard coal wagons were acquired in 1902, probably for evaluation as the LNWR was planning larger wagons of it own. All were still in use in 1919..	×
D56	Traffic coal wagon, 19ft long, to carry 15tons	Another of the experimental designs from 1903, this time a one off 19ft long wagon. It was still in traffic in 1919.
D57	Traffic coal wagon, 20ft long, to carry 15tons	Another of the experimental designs from 1903, this time a one off 20ft long wagon wth 5 planks. It was still in traffic in 1919.
D58	Traffic coal wagon, 20ft long, to carry 15tons	Yet another experimental coal wagon design from 1913 was 15 of these large 20ft wagons, albeit with only 5 planks. All are believed to have survived into LMS ownership.	×
D59	Traffic coal wagon, to carry 20tons	This single wagon, built in 1902, was the largest of the experimental types, being 21ft 6in long. It had 8 planks and two doors each side. After a few years it may have been allocated to the Locomotive Department for loco coal. It is not known whether it survived to the Grouping.
D90	Traffic coal wagon, to carry 10tons [18ft]	The last standard LNWR coal wagon, using the new 18ft uderframe developed for the D84, but with bottom doors. 2,650 were built from 1905 and over 35 were still in service 45 years later.	×
D28	Hopper coal wagon (West Cum), to carry 10tons	15ft hopper wagons like these were in use by the early 1870s and this was the LNWRs design, complete with additional buffers for chauldron wagons.	×
D29	Hoppered coke wagon (West Cum), to carry 10tons	Developed from D28, 63 of these tall wagons with 7 planks and raised ends apeared in 1882. They were 16ft long and also had chauldron buffers.
D30	Hopper wagon, railed for coke (West Cum), to carry 10tons	18 of these wagons were converted from 15ft D28 wagons in 1894 by the addition of coke rails.	×
D30a	Coke wagon, Hoppered (West Cum), to carry 10tons	The official title doesn't mention that these wagons had coke rails, so were a more modern 16ft version of D30 and built after 1912.	×
D44	Hopper wagon, to carry 10tons	Built from 1890, these 15ft wagons appear to be all but identical to D28 except that they did not have chauldron buffers and were not allocated to the West Cumberland District.	×
D44a	Hopper wagon, to carry 10tons	Just as the D30a was a larger and modernised version of D28, so D44a was a larger and modernised version of D44 and built after 1912.	×
D91	Iron Ore hopper wagon, to carry 20tons	60 of these 16ft all steel wagons were built in 1905 and 1912 and all survived into LMS ownership.	×
D31	Coke wagon, to carry 10tons	This diagram included wagons with slight variations for use by the Locomotive Department, the Carriage Department and the Wagon department. They first appeared in 1877, were 16ft long and had 7 planks with raised ends, very like D29.	×
D31a	Coke wagon, to carry 10tons	25 of the 18ft D84 wagons were fitted in 1905 with coke rails for use by the Wagon Department at Earlestown. All appear to have survived into LMS days.	×
