Composite Lavatory Brake van Number 199

Built to drawing 234, this carriage was constructed by the Maryborough firm of G. & E. Negus in November 1883 as a Composite Brake Van. Originally fitted with a lantern roof, the car was completely rebuilt to drawing 694 in November 1918. This included the fitting of toilets, and a more common arched style roof. As rebuilt the vehicle was classified as a Composite Lavatory Brake van until November 1979, when it was down graded to Second Class. It continued in service until March 1983, not quite attaining a hundred years of life before being written off.
