The post-war standard bogie bolster wagon was the QC class based on the 42'-0" chassis. A total of seventy-two were built in 1954-5 followed by five conversions of TA class cattle trucks. Seventy-five QC's were converted to the new QBE standard starting in 1975. Another four were converted from TA class cattle trucks. Withdrawal started in 1988 but most of the class were condemned in one go in 1996. |
