D20 |
Cattle wagon (small), to carry 7tons | The smallest of three types of LNWR stadard cattle wagon at 13ft 6in long, these were built from the 1870s originally without roofs (which is probably they are known as wagons rather than vans). At least 550 were built before removable partitions allowed medium and large wagons to carry the equivalent of a small wagon and no more were built after 1882. |

D22 |
Cattle wagon (large), to carry 10tons | The standard Large cattle wagons were built alongside the medium types and went through all the same design improvements. The measured 18ft 9in and 891 survived into LMS ownership. Production continued however until at least 1924 and some late examples carried LMS numbers in the ex-L&YR number sequence so could have been built for the L&Y from 1922. |
