| BEZY 60' CONTAINER WAGON Running Numbers 47554 - 47853 Built in 2000. A kit of this wagon is available from Wuiske Models, click here to view this item. The BEZY class container wagons entered service throughout 2000. These wagons are the longest freight wagons in service on the QR system. These wagons are designed to carry three 20' ISO containers or one 40' and one 20' container. Wagons of this type have been fitted with conventional type bogies. These modern wagons are fitted with a twin hose brake system, meaning that instead of the single brake line extending from the left hand side of the coupling they are fitted with one on each side. The BEZY container wagons measure 18.3 metres over headstocks and have a tare weight of only 17.2t which gives them a carrying capacity of between 45.8t and 62.8t depending on the classification of the line. 32 of these wagons are currently in the process of being converted to standard gauge and reclassified as QQAY. The first seven of these units were sent to Melbourne on Thursday, 28th October with a following eight to be sent a week later. The running numbers of the converted wagons are as follows: 47612, 47821 - 47852. Wagon 47612 was the first of these units converted and has been running as a test wagon for some time. As at the 28th of October, 2004 the following wagons have had their conversions completed: 47824 - 47828, 47832 - 47833, 47837, 47840, 47842 - 47844, 47848 and 47852. | ||||||||||
