The QMBs were amongst the largest narrow gauge wagons to run on the W.A.G.R. They were 70'-0" long over headstocks and were intended for relatively light motor vehicle bodies.

The first wagon (20001) was turned out in 1959 followed by fourteen more (20002-15) in 1960 and the final five in 1961 (20016-20).
