This CW kit is representative of the 250 wagons fitted with the standard post war steel 10ft wheel base (S-truck) underframe, which were delivered commencing in 1948 and numbered 27775 to 28024.

These wagons were the first cattle wagons to be fitted with automatic couplings and were also fitted with parallel standard freight buffers. The body was of wooden construction with a corrugated steel roof. Some were fitted with short vertical braces in the middle of the side panels, and some had no bracing at all.

Examples of this type of cattle wagon survived into the 1970s, by which time the corrugated roof had been removed.

KIT PRICE: $140.00 including wheelsets
       + Northyard spoked wheelsets are standard
       + Slaters or NWSL wheelsets can be supplied on request
