With the need to keep container wagons on the Broad Gauge Seventy Five VQCX where recoded to VQRF for Rice Container Traffic and had the Grade Control equipment removed which was a requirement for Standard Gauge rolling stock, they worked between Echuca, Melbourne and Geelong. The VQCX wagons that where recoded are 507, 512, 515, 519, 522, 530, 534, 542, 544, 545, 561, 575, 577, 604, 605, 619, 630, 632, 633, 640, 656, 662, 663, 666, 671, 685, 694, 705, 706, 709, 723, 726, 727, 734, 746, 752, 755, 758, 765, 767, 775, 781, 782, 791, 804, 808, 809, 828, 832, 835 838, 839, 867, 868, 877, 882, 899, 915, 918, 920, 925, 926, 928, 932, 941, 947, 950, 974, 976, 977, 983, 984, 994, 997 and 1003, they where built between 1969 through to 1978 at Ballarat North Workshops and Bendigo Workshops as FQX with the last batch built 1979 to 1980 as VQCX making a total of 510.
Notes: I originally intended to have the brackets scripted to set the right ones for the type of container however the script didn't work so only the three 20ft brackets are visible and can only load 20ft containers as the Rice Container traffic was only done with 20ft anyways.
