New South Wales N type carriage stock The N type carriage stock was a type of steel passenger carriage operated by the Department of Railways New South Wales and its successors from 1939 until the late 1980s.History In September 1938 the Department of Railways New South Wales awarded a contract to Waddington , Granville for 35 steel carriages. They were equipped with forced air ventilation and downward opening windows. Neither were successful and were replaced by more conventional fittings.The cars were delivered as 5 NUB sets of seven cars, normally marshalled as HFN, FN, FN, BN, BN, FN and HFN. Car numbers were 2177-2211 and the cars being numbered sequentially within each set. The BN cars were first class cars and sat 56 passengers in seven semi-partitioned sections. The FN cars were second class cars and could seat 78 passengers. The HFN cars were second class brake vans and could seat 68 passengers. In May 1944 they were placed on the Newcastle Flyer services until replaced by HUB sets from 1948. They were also used on the Cessnock Express . By 1969 five cars were modified from FN to RFN to provide additional buffets for the NSWGR fleet. The modified cars were three tons lighter and had a capacity of 47 passengers. A number were modified to BAM sleeper cars for use on longer distance trains which allowed retirement of a number of the older TAM type sleepers. Over the years they operated on both express passenger and mail train services. In May 1968 some were converted for use on the Brisbane via Wallangarra service while in June 1970 others were modified for use on the Southern Highlands Express . They were withdrawn in the late 1980s following the cessation of the Northern and Western Mails .Fleet Status NUB Delivery Set Original Code HFN FN FN BN BN FN HFN 1 Original Number 2177 2178 2179 2180 2181 2182 2183 1 Current/last code/number RFN SFN 1 Owner/Custodian ECHR 1 Location Captains Flat Port Kembla 1 Condition Shell Only Scrapped Scrapped Scrapped Operational 2 Original Number 2184 2185 2186 2187 2188 2189 2190 2 Current/last code/number FNR FRN RFN SCN BAM 2 Owner/Custodian THNSW ECHR THNSW Chumrail 2 Location Eveleigh Port Kembla Thirlmere Rothbury 2 Condition Operational Operational Scrapped Operational Shell only 3 Original Number 2191 2192 2193 2194 2195 2196 2197 3 Current/last code/number ABN SBN 3 Owner/Custodian DSRM NSW Govt ECHR ECHR GMR THNSW 3 Location Dorrigo Eveleigh Port Kembla Port Kembla Glenreagh Thirlmere 3 Condition Shell only Operational Operational Operational 4 Original Number 2198 2199 2200 2201 2202 2203 2204 4 Current/last code/number HN FNR BHM 1738 RFN 1739 SCN 1740 BAM 1741 1742 4 Owner/Custodian CRM SSR CRM CRM 4 Location Canberra Canberra Canberra Rothbury 4 Condition Operational Operational Operational Operational Scrapped 5 Original Number 2205 2206 2207 2208 2209 2210 2211 5 Current/last code/number BAM 1743 BAM 1745 CN 1747 BAM 1748 5 Owner/Custodian DSRM THNSW CFCLA 5 Location Rothbury Lake Burrendong Dorrigo Thirlmere Goulburn 5 Condition Shell only Operational Scrapped Operational
