| Class P six-wheeled Brake vans (Class C 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 but the dates are unknown. When taken over by the W.A.G.R. in August 1897 they became C87-C90 and 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 |
