Maurice Pearce has taken these fine photos of some common GWR bogies, which apart from illustrating the design also shows weathering well. You can see drawings of the main bogie types below.
9 ft light bolster-bogie, manufactured 1910-1925
8 ft and 9 ft American equalised bolster-bogie, introduced 1907
7 ft single bolster type used under Bow-end stock, introduced 1925
9 ft standard pressed-steel double bolster, introduced 1935
These drawings show some of the main bogie types used by the GWR from Dean onwards. The illustrations are based on "Modeller's Guide to the GWR" by T.J. Booth (PSL 1990). Note that these are hand-drawn sketches only - not precise diagrams!
