WT’s
were used extensively during the Steam days for supplying water to loco
depots in dry or hard water areas. They were a familiar sight on
Mallee lines to Mildura during drought or used as back up for fire
fighting duties. A water tap was positioned at the correct height to
supply extra water to steam locos when travelling to areas that didn’t
have a good supply of fresh water or water that would clog the boiler
tubes being so hard. They also supplied the various work gangs
around the state with fresh water at encampments and were some of the last
4-wheel wagons to be removed from the VR roster in the early 1980’s and
were a familiar sight marshalled being Steam hauled locos on enthusiast
specials.
Please note: These are a very limited edition as getting a hold of PECO underframes in volume has been difficult and as a result only 40 have been produced. |
