80225 is a GWR 10T all-steel dropside ballast wagon built as Swindon in 1937 to diagram P15. The 'new generation' ballast wagons of this type began in 1935 with Diagram P15, which had an increased length over earlier designs of 16ft 6in over the headstocks while retaining a 9ft wheelbase. The internal height of 1ft 10in gave a nominal 8 cubic yard capacity.<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Atkins, Beard & Tourret (2013)]] pp. 319-320</ref> The GWR did not allocate telegraphic codes to Departmental wagons of this type, although it was later classified as a STARFISH by BR. It arrived on the SVR in 1973.
Unusually, the wagon has two spoked wheels and two disk wheels.
It is a sister to SVR-based [[GWR 80603 Ballast Wagon|80603]] and [[GWR 80684 Ballast Wagon|80684]]. In addition [[GWR 60906 Ballast Wagon|60906]] is an earlier version and [[GWR 30903 Ballast Wagon|30903]] a later development, built to diagrams P14 and P18 respectively.
