The 1800 class railcars were a class of self-propelled railcars built by Commonwealth Engineering, Granville for the Queensland Railways.
History
In 1949 the Queensland Railways placed an order for 12 aluminium two-carriage 1800 class railmotors with Commonwealth Engineering, Granville. Each set comprised a power car (RM - "Rail Motor") and trailer car (TP - "Trailer Passenger").[1]
Two trailer carriages remain in service on the Gulflander, operating between Normanton and Croydon, and one motor car is preserved at the Rosewood Railway Museum.[2] The bodies of three others are privately owned.
