Umm , Brunels great western railway? Quite large stock AFAIK.

It was not particularly larger than narrow (standard) gauge stock of
the time, even before they decided to build vehicles suitable for
conversion to narrow gauge.

It was only later that locomotives and coaching stock became limited
by structures. The GWR did build some coaches a little larger than
could run on some other lines later still, I have a vague
recollection it was called Centenary stock. Was some stock of the
late BR/early privatisation built a little larger too?
