Just for the sake of historical accuracy:

All Victorian wagon codes ending in "Y" were altered to "F" 
commencing in 1988.
See Weekly Notice 10/88, 15th March 1988, page 537 - 538.

There should be no Victorian wagon ending in "Y" except for 
the recently converted VQCY and VLEY codes.

Having said that, there may still be a couple of VFRY, VMBY, 
VMPY left that have seen little or no use for some years.

The VHGY code was altered to VHGF code commencing 1988.
There are NO VHGY's left, all are VHGF or VHRF now.

The green grain hopper is VHGF 370
