From 1965, the wagons had bogies altered for higher speed trains, and so the wagons were reclassed MF. This lasted until the 1979 recoding, by which time only wagons 2–5, 10, 15, 20-22 and 25 remained. These 10 wagons were reclassed to VSBY, indicating that they were not bogie-exchangeable. The wagons were removed from service in the mid-1980s.
In April 1919 N QR wagons 31, 33, 36, 38, 39 and 46 were rebuilt into the first of the N BH passenger carriages, numbered 1 through 6 respectively and used for second-class passenger holiday traffic by adding seats, a removable roof on poles and tarps for wagon sides and doors.

These wagons were developed using the experience Garrett's designers had gained producing the tractors. The majority of these wagons were fitted with superheaters, a feature used as a marketing point against the un-superheated Foden wagons. The overtype wagons were initially produced in a 5-ton capacity, with a 3-ton design following in 1911.
The Victorian Railways used a variety of former traffic wagons around depots and for specific construction, maintenance and similar tasks. Very few of these vehicles were specially constructed from scratch, often instead recycling components or whole wagon bodies and frames from old vehicles that had been withdrawn from normal service as life-expired or superseded by a better design.

These modified open wagons were recoded to HZ. Between 1961 and 1966, these wagons were progressively recoded to HY. The numbers for the HZ group were between 6 and 804. As HY wagons, they were converted to GY wagons in the 1966/67 program. These wagons were incorporated into the GY number block 911 to 1160 along with other IZ conversions. [16]
