QR/Aurizon VAK Coal Wagon
The VAK class coal hoppers were introduced in 1979 to upgrade an ageing VO fleet & were built in four batches – the last batch completed in 1981. All were converted to the VAKM class in 1991 with the fitting of tiebars & some converted in 2005 as the VAKMB class when fitted with straight airbrakes. Quick drop doors were fitted in 2006 becoming the VAQK class.
