| Carriage No. 42, it was a 50 foot 2nd class car that could seat 50 people. After WMR was purchased by NZR in 1908, most WMR car continued in NZR's use for many years. There is a photo of Glen Afton in the early 30's that shows what appears to be a WMR car. |
| Car No. 42 was renumbered A 1120 in NZR's fleet, finally being written off on 04/03/39, but was converted to EA 2358 and a 'plumber's car'. |
| This car was shunted around various stations or yards in the Auckland area where plumbing repairs were required. It was overhauled at Otahuhu workshops in July '57 and had its last Westinghouse brake overhaul at Auckland in June '63. It was damaged in a shunting accident sometime that year and left at the back of Otahuhu workshops until obtained by BTC. |
| It is one of only a couple of WMR cars still in existence). | ![]() |
