V/Line N Scale VQLX

Part no 1033 (3pack)

Between late 1980’s and early 1990’s the Victorian Railways - (V/line) commenced a program to expand their container wagons as quickly as possible. The easiest solution was to cut the decks and any above structure off 134 wagons on the following classes VFLX, VFLY, VFNX, VFPX, VQEX, VQEY, VFTX, VFTF and VFMX. The skeletalization produced some interesting arrangements in the deck openings.
