NRN Flat wagons -- NRN 1702 to 1741

Mechanical Handling Ltd, Woodville, South Australia was awarded a contract in 1971 to, construct 40 narrow gauge 47 foot flat wagons, which were classified "NRN" and allocated road numbers 1702 through 1741.

Some of the NRN wagons were recoded as AQNA. Of these 32 in 1980/81 were sent to Tasmania were they became the FV class. They were later recoded as the QL class.
