I had a quick trip to Tassie last week and managed to get some photos. Here are a couple of Chinese built 40ft TQAY skels.
TQAY 100 with a pair of SCFU side door containers, marked for Toll as TSSD.
TQAY 144 with a Cronos leas box marked as TSTG, and a BOC CO2 ISO tank #42.

Did the Chinese manufacturers base the design on any other wagons built for Australia, or were they a clean slate design?
ReplyDeleteThey are unique with two brake cylinders per platform, smaller wheels, and Wabtec brakes. If you were looking for some similarities, the CQXY would be close as a 45-48ft platform with a master/slave arrangement. Check out the Tasrail link:
