Class GC high-sided goods wagons

WAGR Official photo of a batch of brand new GCs in 1912. (RHWA collection)

The single most important and numerous class of wagon on the W.A.G.R. was the class GC open wagon. After the construction of a single prototype wagon in 1907 more than 3700 others followed. The design had evolved from the original NZR G class design via the GB class which had a vacuum braked 15' underframe into the 16' GC class. In fact most of the ironwork for the GB and GC classes was identical and so many GB class wagons were rebuilt as GCs. The GC design was also used by the M.R.W.A as their class AC.

Construction of the class spanned the period from 1907-1951 although most of the later examples were wagons built using the parts of old GB class wagons. The shortest lived GC of all was 10336 which was written off after only four years in traffic presumably as a result of accident damage.

The class were constructed as follows:

It is known that tarpaulin supports were removed from some wagons but it is possible that many retained them until written off

The GCs were not all in service at the same time with many wagons being used as parts for other classes after only ten years or so in service. This was particularly the case in the early twenties when little more than the underframe components were salved to build CX and BD class livestock wagons. The prototype M class coal box wagon was also built using a GC wagon underframe.

By the late twenties some of the earliest wagons were becoming life expired and so in 1930 GC 7353 was rebuilt with a steel underframe. It retained the 9'-0" wheelbase of the wooden framed wagons and remained a one-off until withdrawn in 1979.

In 1929 (or possibly before) five wagons (7121, 8011, 8963, 9011 and 9080) were fitted with ridge poles and designated for use on glass traffic. Before 9136 8011 and 9024 reverted to standard but it is believed that 7121, 8963 and 9080 may have kept the fittings until written off (in 1949, 1954 and 1955 respectively).

In 1931-1934 one hundred GC class wagons with a 9-'6" wheelbase steel underframe were built to replace older GB and GC class wagons. One additional wagon (GC192) was built in 1932, which also had a steel floor and steel doors and effectively formed the prototype for the GS class built from 1935. Another experiment that didn't go any further was the conversion of GC9975 to class GCW in 1932 for bulk wheat traffic. This involved extending the height of the sides and fitting a ridge pole. Further conversions were carried out instead on classes K and RB (to give KW and RBW) wagons rather than more GCWs.

There were also unrecorded one off conversions (probably temporary) such as the one of GC8573 during the construction of the Esperance railway. The picture at right was taken by the resident engineer for the construction and is part of the RHWA collection.

Although a total of 250 GS class wagons were built they offered little improvement over the GC in many respects so rebuilding ceased and further construction was of the completely new GN, and then GE classes. The old GCs were then written off as the new types came into service. However in 1940 there was an urgent need to provide wagons for the Commonwealth Railways lines in the Northern Territory as their NGSD class. More followed to the C. R. in 1942. However withdrawal from service continued at a slow rate until in the final years of the war it picked up.

In their later years some of the GCs acquired cane support brackets as shown in the picture of GC7282 opposite. These were fitted from 1963 onwards but many wagons were scrapped without being fitted with them. GC6698 was labelled "Bitumen traffic only" in 1974 along with some of the steel framed wagons.

The longest lived GCs were two wagons built in 1908, which lasted to be amongst the final survivors in 1979. They were GC212 and GC355.
