Early GWR carriages, in common with other railways at the time, were typically wooden vehicles based on stagecoach practice and built on short, rigid six-wheel (or sometimes four-wheel) underframes, although the 7 ft (2,134 mm) broad gauge allowed wider bodies with more people seated in each compartment.
