The Z type carriages are an air conditioned steel passenger carriage used on the railways of Victoria, Australia. The carriages were constructed by the Victorian Railways from 1957 for use on intrastate services. For most of their service, the Z cars operated as Z sets, however, in the early 1990s most sets were broken up, with carriages merged into N sets. They thus currently run on mixed service with Z sets.

QMX 63' CONTAINER WAGON

These containers wagons were a continuation of the basic design of the earlier VR FQX 63’ wagon, the exception being, they were built with a skeletal deck.

60 wagons were built in 1978, 1 – 40 at the VR Bendigo Workshops and 41 – 60 at the VR Newport Workshops. These were the last VR wagons to enter service prior to the adoption of the ROA 4 letter coding in 1979.

They were suitable for bogie exchange and later all went into the NRC pool in 1995, the majority were fitted with 2CM high speed bogies and became RQFY coded wagons.

Model Features:

• Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO scale model
• Injection moulded high quality plastic body
• Diecast metal underfloor centre beam
• Full brake rigging and underfloor detail
• Semi scale 10.5mm diameter metal rimmed wheels

10000 Gallon Rail Tank Car Series

SDS Models is producing a range of 10 000 gallon rail tank cars based upon a standard VR design 38 foot welded underframe. These HO Gauge models are presented with four unique, oil company specific, tank designs and accurately portrait the prototypical differences between each companies versions to meet their intended requirements. The models cover all major brands used in Victoria with the exception of the Shell Oil Company whose fleet rode on 36 foot riveted underframes.

The models are available in triple-packs and are categorised into three groups:

• OT - as delivered in the early 1950s to the early 1960s
TW / TWF - 1960s to the late 1970s
• VTQA / VTQF / VTQY - 1980s and 1990s.

Model Features:

• Highly detailed Ready-to-Run HO scale model
• Injection moulded high quality plastic body
• Etched metal walkways
• Full brake rigging and underfloor detail
• Semi scale metal rimmed wheels
• OT bogie, 5’11” wheelbase with 36" diameter wheels.
• Genuine Kadee #158 whisker coupler

In-order to allow running at 125 mph on Britain's railways, new rolling stock was needed by British Railways. Significant improvements over the Mk2 included new secondary air suspension between the bogies and the coach body as well as aerodynamic skirting on the underframe. Mk3 Coaches are 75ft (23m) long enabling far greater capacity than older coaches. Mk3 Coaches also incorporate disk brakes and wheel slip protection enabling faster deceleration.

The first Mk3 Coaches to be delivered were used as part of the HST prototype along with the two Class 41 diesel power cars in 1972. Mk3 Coaches entered service in 1975 along with the Class 43 forming the iconic InterCity 125 trainset.

Mk3 Coaches continue to be a mainstay on British railways in the 21st century despite their increasing age. With the introduction of the new Class 800 and 802 IEP units on the Great Western Mainline, GWR cascaded remaining IC125 sets to rural routes, shortening them to 4 passenger coach 'Castle' sets. These Mk3s are also updated to comply with new regulations mandating considerations such as improved toilet facilities, disabled access and automatic doors.

This six wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the Southern Railway (SR) having been inherited from its predecessors such as the London & South West Railway (LSWR) and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR).

Small coaches such as this six wheeled coach proved especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, whilst lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines.

This SR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and electric lighting.

The 113 series, which was born in 1963, was manufactured for many years, and the 2000 series, which appeared in 1978, underwent design changes such as wider seat pitch. The intermediate trailer car, Saha 111, was equipped with a toilet, but this was eliminated in the 2000 series. The 113 series, which was used on the Tokaido Main Line in Tokyo, Chukyo, and Kansai areas, was livery in orange and green Shonan colors.

The South Australian Railways introduced 36 steel bodied country passenger cars between 1936 and 1941. Of these cars the last 24 built, entered service in 1940/41. They were all of a similar external appearance and the same overall length.

16 were coded 700 to 715, these were Second class centre aisle cars. 4 were coded 750 to 753, these were Composite class centre aisle cars. 4 were coded 780 to 783, these First class centre aisle cars.

Originally introduced with frameless full drop windows, they were progressively replaced with half drop chrome plated framed windows from the mid 1950s through to the very early 1960s.

Introduced in Hawthorn green and cream with black roofs up until the mid to late 1960s, when they were progressively repainted into Regal red and Silver to match the newer country stock.

In the early 1970s 4 cars were transferred to standard gauge to work between Broken Hill and Peterborough. Later in the early 1980s several cars were hired to Victorian Railways.

Many 700 series cars also saw service with West Coast Railway in Victoria, Steam Ranger in South Australia, North Rivers Railroad with Ritz Rail in Northern NSW.
