Peter Vincent's CD "Victorian Railways Rolling Stock 1886 - 1996" was an essential reference source for these models. More info about this CD can be found at http://www.netspace.net.au/~pjv101/ I would like to thank Ian Bowles for the many hours of work he has put into developing more realistic brake and physics values for all Australian MSTS rolling stock. This model was produced using Train Sim Modeler v1.1. About the prototype: -------------------- The RY wagons were re-coded from a variety of IZ, GZ and HZ open wagons in 1964 and were used for general goods service. The earlier numbered wagons featured outside sill underframes and rivited bodies while the later ones (the subject of this model) featured standard underframes and welded construction. Withdrawals commenced in the late 1970's and continued through the early 1980's. At least one of these wagons is preserved with Seymour Railway Heritage Centre (http://www.srhc.org.au/).
