Hi, wasn't quite a flat wagon (VL**) but was an open wagon (VO**). Were 
there any specific open bogie grain wagons, or was this something else that 
i saw? (I have a database of this at home, but haven't had time to look 
through it lately).

As for the VHGF, it's certainly the first I've seen in FV livery on the 
broady line.

Yes, this i found in a post to ausloco, on 1/10/1999 by Darren Wood.

Today at Kensington was P20, with possibly only 3 VHGF's (unless some were 
hidden somewhere or i was travelling on the up spark at a speed that made 
me miss more?

Today travelled the last car on my up spark, and decided to stick my head 
out the door for the first time while standing at Kensginton to see if 
anything was there. Looks like to see anything i will need to travel the 
first car next time :/
