107291 1107291 was built at Swindon in 1935to Diagram J 25, Lot 1169. It is a ‘Macaw B’ 45 foot 30 ton Bogie Bolster wagon. Bolsters are the raised wooden baulks on which the load was carried; often these had movable stakes at the ends of each bolster to prevent the load sliding off the side of the wagon. Owned The wagon was fitted with two bogies, each with 4 wheels. 107291 was acquired by The [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc.]]<br>in 1971 from the Round Oak Steel Works, Brierley Hill, arriving on 22 March in that year. It was quickly restored for use in service as a P.W. vehicle, that use being interrupted by a brief spell as a mock ‘Pullman’ carriage for filming in 1975. It was completely re-decked and repainted in 1986, and has seen regular use as a transporter of rails, sleepers and point-work on the railway.
