From the start of the standard gauge operation in WA shifting wheat was a major task. The WW class were built for the brand new railway for this task. One hundred and forty of these wagons were built between October 1966 and April 1967 by Scotts of Ipswich in Queensland. WW 32001 - 32081 in 1966 and 32082-32140 in 1967. The class remained intact for thirty years but WW32015, 32041 were written off 1997.
