The SVR has been home to three of the latter type. The DOGFISH was fitted with centre and side doors, allowing ballast to be dropped between the rails or to either side. A total of 1,249 of this type were built under Diagram 1/587, some by Metro-Cammell and others including the three SVR examples by Chas Roberts of Wakefield<ref>LTSV Wagons</ref>.
