| Class P six-wheeled Brake vans (Class C and EE before 1900 and GSR class M) |
|
In 1896 the W.A.G.R. inherited four 6-wheeled brake vans from the Great Southern Railway. These vans had started out life in 1888 as four-wheelers identical to the M.R.W.A. brakevans. They were numbered 1M-4M by the GSR. The rebuild to the longer 6 wheeled form was done at Albany workshops by the GSR. Although the dates are unknown, evidence to the 1893 Royal Commission (paragraph 1186) mentions that three of them had been done by then (even if it errs in that the length was increased by 8 feet not 8 inches). When taken over by the W.A.G.R. in August 1897 they became C87-C90. In the 1900 reclassification list 88 and 90 are both listed as class EE. In 1900 they were given new numbers in the wagon series: |

One of the GSR P vans at North Fremantle - blown up from State Library of WA BA1059/1227. Quite possibly the same van as above. The two WAGR outline diagrams below show the original 4 wheel and later 6 wheel configurations of these GSR vans. |

Other brake vans |
| The W.A.G.R.'s other brake vans can be found under Class Z. After 1936 the remaining four-wheeled vans were class ZP. In 1953 two experimental four-wheeled vans were built which were class ZF |
