| Class EB cold storage vans and EBE explosives vans
WAGR builders photo of EB 15301 (RHWA collection) The final class of W.A.G.R. four-wheeled cold storage van appeared in 1961. Production continued until 1965. These vans used the post-war 18'-0" steel underframe with modified springing in an effort to improve the riding. They were built as follows: |
| 1961 | 15301-15305 |
| 1962 | 15306-15315 |
| 1964 | 15316-15320 |
| 1965 | 15321-15330 |
| After a relatively uneventful career they were written off from 1979 as follows: |
| 1979 | 15302, 15313, 15315, 15318, 15323, 15327, 15330 |
| 1985 | 15321 |
| 1986 | 15303, 15304, 15306, 15307, 15309, 15314, 15316, 15319, 15320, 15322, 15324, 15325, 15326 |

Some escaped this fate immediately to become class EBE explosive vans. These were 15301, 15308, 15310, 15317 and 15328, 15329 in 1981 and 15305, 15311, 15312 in 1982. These vans were written off in 1985 (15311) and 1986 (the rest). The WAGR outline diagram is shown below.
