Victorian Railways B 4 Wheel Box Van
$1,500
This is located at West Geelong and is in need of a new home. The major components and frame is solid, but the door needs repair. Unit would need to be craned out.
Please contact me for more information.
Some History: It was initially proposed to convert 500 I/IA wagons whose bodies were in need of repair into box vans, only 380 were ultimately converted. B 1 was the test/prototype and after evaluation, further construction commenced 9 months after B 1 was constructed. The production B's differed from B 1 in that they had pressings on the ends and a different louvre at the top of the ends, B 1 initially had a late U van type door with the louvres blanked but the whole class ended up with and solid steel door except for a couple of exceptions detailed below. The non standard doors would have been replacements for damaged doors and the workshops simply installed whatever door was in stock at the time. The class were numbered 1 - 380 and all were built at Bendigo workshops between 1958 and 1961.
