The Victorian Railways elected to tack on to that order two louvre vans, two flat cars and two open wagons, becoming 1 and 2 V, S and E respectively; the equivalents of the South Australian Railways M, Fb and O types, along with a class of 12 J-type hopper wagons.
All assets were then handed to the Victorian Railways, per Clause 47 of the Border Railways Act, 1922, Schedule 1. [5] The vans numbered 1 and 2 under the D&MR system became 27 Z and 33 Z, using numbers freed by the ZH series, and the third van was scrapped.
The N QR class of trucks were the staple of the Victorian Railways' narrow gauge fleet. 218 examples were constructed between 1898 and 1914, [1] designed as an open wagon with removable end panels as well as three drop-down but removable doors either side.
The other two units, 3 and 5NC, remained in Victorian Railways service until transferred to the Emerald Tourist Railway Board. Puffing Billy Railway currently has former NAB AB s 2 and 4 in service as 26NAC and 24NB respectively, along with vans 2NC and 5NC. The Railway also has 3NC, 6NC, 8NB and 14NB awaiting restoration.

Rail transport in the Australian state of Victoria is provided by a number of railway operators who operate over the government-owned railway lines. The network consists of 2,357 km of Victorian broad gauge (1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in)) lines, and 1,912 km of standard gauge (1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in)) freight and interstate lines; the latter increasing with gauge conversion of the former.
The new wagon had a capacity of three typical vehicles on each deck. In 1960 the wagon was modified to permit roll-on roll-off loading and unloading, and by 1961 a further 21 wagons of the type had entered service. [7] These wagons, which were 58 feet 9 inches (17.91 m) in length, were built at Newport Workshops and received the code 'AA'. [8]
In 1880, twenty boxvans were built by Harkness & Co. for the Victorian Railways. The class given was S and numbers 1 through 20. The vans were for general traffic; 11 ft (3.35 m) tall, about 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft (2.29 m) across (wide) and just under 32 ft (9.75 m) over buffers for an internal capacity of 1,375.35 cubic feet (38.946 m 3).
