However, they also seem to have found a lot of use in carrying exceptional loads either as spacers or for carrying the load itself. Naturally they were pressed into service to carry items longer than other bolster wagons could handle without the need for runner wagons. These wagons were designed for carrying pre-stressed concrete beams and had flush sockets on the deck to locate stanchions as required.Īlthough designed with two specific traffic uses in mind, photographs show that they were looked on as ‘handy’ for a number of other uses including carrying vehicles. A further 30 wagons were constructed using the same under-frame but without the bolsters. 1/483 with 5 bolsters for the carrying of finished rail for fabrication or export. By far the largest group were those 135 built to dia. There were two variations of BORAIL constructed with different types of traffic in mind. Given that the standard length of rail was 60ft the BORAIL wagons measured 62ft over headstocks and were fitted with bolsters to support the load. The primary use for the wagons was the transportation of lengths of new rail from the rolling mills to either track prefabrication plants or to docks for export.

The BORAIL wagons were an interesting group that found themselves built in the revenue series of wagons although they would find themselves often used as special wagons and for the Civil Engineer. This expansion continues the story of the airbrake converted BRV BORAIL wagons featuring the conversion to general materials carriers by fitting mesh sided modules in place of the existing bodywork.
