WAGR steam Locos.

With regard to the posts regarding WAGR steam locos, it was WAGR practice to
swap bits and pieces around, with particular regard to axle boxes.
To illustrate, V1209 has axle boxes from PM, PMR and W classes on its rear
axle and on the tender. There are none that I know of that were from any of
the 24 V class locos. Dates on the axle boxes are the giveaway. The V class
were built in 1955, but the axle boxes are dated 1949 and 1951. The PM and PMR
classes were built in 1949; the W class in 1951.
