Victorian OO wagon

Hi everyone,

I was wondering whether anyone had any plans, pictures, measurements or general information on the Oo wagon as shown in the link below:

I know there is a modified Oo in the form of the HH wagon at Daylesford and any measurements or pictures of the bottom half of it would also be useful since it is just an Oo with a wooden top and possibly different bogie's.

The two HH wagons that survive (HH2 and HH5 in storage for the ARHS Vic Division) have the original bogies. Not too sure if the 1914 Diagram Book has them, which is actually available.

There is (if it is till there) another one in existance on a property at Bet Bet. It is visible from the road on the right hand side after going over the level crossing.

HH4 (i think) is the one that was stationed at Ballarat East Loco, it was sold in the very early 80's & the six wheel bogies cut up for scrap.

Bear in mind there were two styles of HH wagon: the conversions of OO wagons and the conversions from TT wagons. The easiest way to tell would be the roof slope, as the conversions from TT wagons had an angled roof, whereas OO wagons had an elliptical roof.

If a TT wagon does survive it would be good to try and preserve it in a better condition.
