Part no 1040 includes correct BX bogies

From 1954-1956 the Victorian railways constructed the VP van based upon the already successful VF. Vans were used on fast passenger trains both within Victorian and interstate on the Standard Gauge network in NSW. The VP’s had an extra door either side to aid loading and unloading at stations than the VF’s numbered lower than 50. All vans were carried upon the BX fast express passenger bogies except VP140 which was exchanged for plain bearing bogies. Photo Courtesy of Rob O'Regan
