Prototype Info.
These water gins were built following the Second World War on standard 10’ wheelbase, 18’ overall underframes, as used under S trucks and many others. They were essentially for departmental use. In later life, some of them were redeployed in other uses such as for waste oil, etc.
The wagon used for reference is in the collection of the Dorrigo Railway Museum and was originally based at Muswellbrook.
