These repaints marked a shift towards more standardised liveries during a period of operational change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set captures that transitional era, offering realistic rolling stock for modellers focused on evolving freight operations and the gradual move from steam to diesel traction across Australian railways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a ready-to-run HO scale wagon set. Place each wagon on compatible HO gauge track and couple them to your locomotive or freight consist.
