In a bid to improve economy, the GWR built a number of ‘Mink G’ 30 foot covered goods wagons with a 20 ton capacity and a 19ft 6in wheelbase. They were used to transport consolidated batches of loads from goods depots on overnight shuttles.<ref name=SB9>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref> They were fitted with Instanter couplings (an entry in the GWR Lot book states "Instanter decided by Mr Collett 22 October 1930") and due to their length had large-headed self-contained buffers to guard against buffer locking when negotiating curves.<ref name=Atkins >[[Bibliography#Other References|Atkins, Beard & Tourret (2013)]] p. 34.</ref> | ||
