GWR Selection of Broad Gauge rolling stock in storage at Swindon. 1892
When the GWR converted the last of its broad gauge tracks to narrow (standard) gauge in 1892 a strategy was required to remove the broad gauge rolling stock from the tracks. These temporary broad gauge sidings were laid out on land north of Swindon Works to accommodate the broad gauge rolling stock until it could be disposed of. There is a similar photo here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124446949@N06/25588140917. There is also a photo and an article in Cassier's Magazine of July 1896, starting at page 204, although this does not mention Swindon. The whole magazine may be downloaded from the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/cassiersmagazi101896newy/page/206/mode/2up Look at the clerestory carriage in the 2nd from left line and you'll see that it, and the surrounding carriages are identical. MacDermot refers to temporary sidings in some fields between the Locomotive Works and the Midland and South Western Junction Railway, that had been purchased and covered with 15 miles of temporary sidings for the reception of the stock.GWR Selection of Broad Gauge rolling stock in storage at Swindon. 1892

GWR and London & Birmingham Railway First and Second Class Carriages - Line drawings
The two drawings are taken from "Railway Practice" by S. C. Brees, 1847 (4th series).The upper drawing is of a GWR broad gauge three-compartment, four-wheeled 1st class carriage that carried eighteen passengers. The luggage was stored on the roof where the Guard who applied the brake also rode, being provided with a seat at each end.
The lower drawing is of a London & Birmingham Railway 2nd class carriage, with six wheels and six compartments each seating twelve passengers. The brake handle was on the inside of the carriage so the guard had to squeeze in with the passengers. This carriage had a roof but was open sided half way from the floor to the roof.
