Green VHQF's

[wajohns@tpgi.com.au (bill johnston)]

Someone asked about the whereabouts of the repainted (Green) VHQF's. Three 
are currently in Tottehnham Yard and have been so for a few days at least. 
They are too far from the running lines to get numbers.
Incidently a minor point the original post (which I could no longer locate in 
5 microseconds) called them ballast wagons. Some hopper wagons were built at 
the same time as these quarry wagons as ballast wagons but these while 
looking similar have end platforms and air operated unloading doors. I do not 
think the VHQF's were ever used in ballast duty. They are confined to 
Kilmore/Geelong/Brooklyn/Westall stone traffic only.
