Standard Gauge Nickel ore wagons

The WN class Nickel concentrate wagons were built for Western Mining Corporation in 1970-75. The WAGR also bought some wagons to the same design from 1974 to 1979 but classed them WNA.

WGL 631 was built for Western Mining Co. in December 1976 to carry Nickel Matte. It was followed by 2 more new wagons in 1977. Further additions to the class were by conversion from class WFN. There were four conversions in 1979 and a further five in 1984. The similar WAGR owned wagons in class WGLA were converted from WFDY and WSA in 1985.
