The CM Class originated with the North Mount Lyell Railway. When the NMLR closed the EBR purchased many open and several closed wagons including what became the CM class. Like much EBR stock, they had very long lives lasting at least until the 1960's. While it may look too short, the model is actually accurate - these wagons had a very short wheelbase (5'3") - even shorter than many mainline bogies!Thursday, April 26, 2007

PVH 1 Completion
