FX / VPFX Bulk Flour Wagon

17 of these pneumatic discharge wagons were constructed between 1966 and 1971, they were numbered FX1 to 17. The first series FX 1 to 6 were built at Newport Workshops, the second series FX 7 to 17 were built at Ballarat North Workshops. The original series of wagons were designed so that two of the four hoppers were unloaded from each end. The second series differed from the first series by means of a single discharge point, via additional piping and manifold, at each end of the wagon. When the wagons were first delivered they were finished in silver with a small VR logo, later many of the series received flour company branding and some were also repainted white. Later their use was expanded to cover burnt lime (VPLX) and dried locomotive sand (VZGX).

Whilst coded FX denoting suitability for bogie exchange they were predominantly used on the broad gauge between Albury NSW and Williamstown Pier and Westall, in the mid-80s some ran on standard gauge to Enfield and Canberra.

I/IA Open Wagon Kit

The first "standard" 15 ton steel I wagon No. 7671 was issued to traffic on 19-10-1908, the forerunner of over eight thousand similar wagons, the last of which (no. 15869) was issued on 23-8-1929. This total includes the derivative IY and G class wagons.

Designed as a general purpose open wagon, this numerous class was to be seen throughout the Victorian Railways system transporting all manner of goods from mallee roots to old tires. With the arrival of the GY bulk wheat wagons in large numbers in the early 1950's, numbers of I wagons were released for conversion to specialized usage, common amongst these were HD and HR departmental service stock, IC tippler wagons for briquette traffic, K flat wagons, KW car body transporter, KT and IT scantling wagons and numerous others. The B class box van utilized the underframe of the I wagon, these being constructed in the late 1950's.

The IA code and dual load stencil was a concession to farmers allowing them to ship produce at the higher load and be charged at the lower load rate. IA numbers were scattered randomly throughout the number range.

With the introduction of large numbers of bogie vehicles in the 1960's, wholesale withdrawal of I wagons was implemented and by late 1982 none remained in revenue service. The pattern I No. 7671 was removed from the register on 18-12-1974 and scrapped on 15-6-1976.

Model illustrated has been fitted with handbrake, shunter's steps and couplers (not included).

A standard design with drop sides to transport general merchandise, the 5 Plank Open Wagon is a stalwart for locomotion. Exposed, easy to load, and pleasant in its simplicity, an open wagon is a model of value to any collector with their chosen set of model railways.

Collett's distinctive bow-ended coaches were developed from a pre-production series of 3 lots , being introduced from late 1925 onwards. Originally formed into six coach sets formed from E127, C54 & D94, or E127, C54 & D95 diagrams, later sets were marshalled into eight coach all Third Class rakes comprised of C58 & D104 diagrams.

Due to comfortable and smooth riding, the type lasted well into British Railways' service, the final examples being withdrawn during December 1962 and January 1963.
