==Design and service==
Within the GWR Diagram Book, Diagram J covered rail and timber bolster wagons, principally the [[GWR 107291 Macaw B Bogie Bolster|MACAW]] and the larger GANE. The original GANE first built in 1899 as Diagram J1 was a 45ft bogie wagon with a 40-ton capacity. The introduction of 60ft rails in the late 1920s eventually saw a longer version introduced in 1935 as Diagram J26, still with a 40-ton capacity but with the length increased to 62ft over the headstocks. The same wagons produced under this Diagram were designated GANE A where used by the Engineering Department and MACAW J for other stock. CuriuoslyCuriously, although 36 of the former were produced and only 10 of the latter, the code 'GANE A' did not appear in the 1939 Telegraph Message Code Book.<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Atkins, Beard & Tourret (2013)]] pp. 190-199, 209.</ref>
60841 was built at Swindon in 1935 to Diagram J26 and saw service with the GWR and BR(W).
