NABP Composite Narrow Gauge Sitting Cars

NABP 6 and 7

Jump to:

Composite class narrow gauge sitting cars. The bodies were built by the Commonwealth Railways on the underframes of earlier cars.

Note the history of some cars is a litle confusing as the North Australia Railway branch of the Commonwealth Railways was not very good at keeping accurate records of its rollingstock.

It was reported in 1947 that NABP 6 and 7 were new bodies built on underframes of cars 1 and 4. Cars 3 and 4 were originally numbers 2 and 3. Both cars are reported as out of service 12.7.1946.
