K flat wagons
|
This was the 3rd "K 34" this one was converted from IA 7472 in 1953 at Ballarat. The bottom of the door supports can be clearly seen. For HO modelers SEM's "Tommy Bent" I would be an easy project.
Photo at Williamstown June 1978, it was scrapped at Simsmetal August 1978 |

VR used the letter K to designate 2 axle flat wagons from 1885. The K's that were around in the late 70's were converted from I/IA's. In the late 70's some older K's were scrapped and replaced with cut down, outside sill RY's | |||||||||||||||

K 1 is an example of outside sill RY's being cut down into K/KQ's This K 1, (the fourth) was converted from KQ 7 in Aug. 1978. (photo late 1978)
