Genesee and Wyoming Australia - AZWY wheel set wagon

Genesee and Wyoming Australia converted some AQCY wagons to AZWY wheel set wagons for use of transporting wheel sets from Progress Rail workshop at Pt Augusta down to Adelaide. Usually these transfers happen on AD1/DA2 service GWA operate that 2 wagons were seen on last Sunday.

AZWY 30380W has locomotive wheel sets loaded.

AZWY 30355V loaded with rollingstock wheel sets.


An ideal kit that could be used to build this wagon would be Westrail Models - WQCX container wagon kit (see link below). Styrene strips can be used as the  "holder" that the wheel sets sit in. This would be nice addition of modelling GWA Darwin service that breaks up the usual container loads commonly seen.
