HISTORY

In the 1950's, two underframes from scrapped wagons were utilized to build ballast ploughs. These ploughs were towed by ballast trains to evenly spread the dropped ballast. They were used until the early 1970's when they were replaced by self propelled ballast ploughs.   N 1 was scrapped late 1976 and N 2 was purchased by Daylesford Railway and transported by road in 1986 and has been used on ballast trains throughout the years.

It is currently on loan to the Victorian Goldfields Railway at Maldon
