| The 17'-0" FA class steel louvre vans were re-built at some point with new wooden bodies. In 1936 ten of these vans were fitted with meat hooks and reclassified FC. A total of fifteen vans of this type was eventually reached. |  |

The WAGR outline diagram used for both the wooden bodied 17' FA and the FC is shown below.

| By 1960 they had all gone - presumably because they were superseded by the FDMs. | |
