The rollingstock of narrow gauge colonial railways can be quite odd at times, with a tendency to make-do and come up with unusual combinations.

I just happen to have a large collection of wagon and carriage diagrams (official scale drawings giving an overview of a design) for the 3'6" gauge railways of Queensland Australia.

So here's a little thread of some fun or odd ones:

We'll start simple.
If you've got a lot of class H open wagons and need more class C covered wagons (vans) what do you do? Naturally you just build the rest of the van body on top and call it the class CH.

Scanned copy of a hand-drawn scale drawing of a railway wagon, showing what is clearly covered wagon (box van) with roof and vertical planking, built on top of an open wagon (gondola) with horizontal planks.
