Rescued by the Puffing Billy Preservation Society from Ocean Grove Victorian in Nov 2010 Nov 2010 Two carriages have been rescued from Ocean Grove where they had been built into a house. They are now at Emerald, one being a platform NB carriage and the other a swing door NB carriage. Storage of these vehicles is being considered. Many people were involved in the move: thanks go to Raymond and Thelma Cotter for providing tarps to protect the cars from the elements. Dec 2010 Two carriages rescued from Ocean Grove are now at Emerald, one being a platform NB car (6NB) and the other a 2nd Class swing door carriage. Minor refurbishment has taken place along with covering with Tarpaulins.Historic - Victorian Railways Narrow Gauge - Passenger Rolling Stock: Saloon carriagePassenger Rolling Stock: Saloon carriage 6NB - Made of Timber. 6 NBpuffing billy railway, pbr, rolling stock , 6 nb, puffing billy, 6nb, saloon carriage, victorian railways, narrow gauge passenger rolling stock, 2'6" guage

2 NBD (1st Series) - Saloon and van (16) NBD - COMBINED NB PASSENGER CAR AND GUARD'S VAN. A saloon or end platform NB which has had a guard's compartment temporarily added in one end. Due to the temporary nature of this conversion, this vehicle also retains its number in the NB numbering sequence but is classed NBD to differentiate it from the standard NBC and the NAC. The use of the D is recognising the code for guard's vans prior to 1910.

The NQRs were the standard Medium open goods wagon. Generally the sides and ends were removable thus providing a totally flat truck. Three long drop-down doors formed the sides thus allowing easy loading and unloading. 218 of these goods vehicles were built between 1898 and 1914 ? numbered 1 - 218​. Originally, these wagons carried the code letter R​ as they were built with sides and ends. They later had the R removed. Unlike the Broad Gauge, VR's 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge network never had four-wheeled wagons (aside from a handful of trolleys). Because of this, a single design of open wagon emerged and this was the only type of wagon ever used on these lines. This was the NQR class, a wagon with the same length and loading capacity as a Broad Gauge four-wheeled open wagon to make transferring freight between the gauges easier. The wagons, numbered 1 through 218, were built between 1898 and 1914. The wagons used the same underframe as most other non-locomotives on the VR Narrow Gauge. Letters and numbers were originally painted only on the end bulkheads and doors, both of which could be removed as traffic dictated, and this made wagon identification difficult until the decals were transferred to the underframes of each wagon In the 1910s some NQRs were provided with removable wood and steel frameworks with canvas roof canopies and side curtains, and internal seating to supplement the rest of the passenger stock during busy holiday periods. Puffing Billy has re-created these for emergency capacity. Five more NQRs, numbered 219-223​, were built between 1990 and 1992 initially for passenger use so were fitted with the removable frames Vehicle Length 25 feet 2 inches ( 7671 mm) Coupled Length 27 feet 4 inches (8330 mm) Width 6 feet 3 inches (1905 mm) Weight 5 tons Capacity 11 tons Built 1898 - 1915 (1992) Number Built 218 (223) In use 14 To be restored 6 151 NQR - Open Medium Truck 24/ 9/1910 NWS Built new VR Service History *NQR 151.VA - 24/ 9/1910 NWS Built new - / /1926 - To NQ 151.VA - NQ 151.VA - circa 1965 - To NQR 151.PA (v) NQR 151.PA - / /1974 BEL Photograph #217.12: loaded firewood Puffing Billy Service History or Notes Untrafficable at Emerald has 6 NB sitting on it Historic - Victorian Railways - Narrow Gauge Rolling Stock - NQR Open Medium Truck151 NQR - Open Medium Truck made of Steel and metal151 NQRpuffing billy railway, pbr, rolling stock , 151 nqr - open medium truck, victorian railways, nqr - open medium truck
