This page covers the VWs converted from carriages of classes AA, AB, ACL and M.R.W.A. J class. There were three body styles involved. The first was the 6 compartment AA class all 1st. The second covers the AB, short ACL and M.R.W.A. J classes which were all identical in external appearance. Finally there were the Long ACLs on a 58'-0" rather than 49'-0" underframe. In 1959 AA211 became the first coach in this group to become VW5067. It was written off in 1982.
