Built by the South Australian Railways as "steel suburban trailing cars". They were constructed at the Islington works between 1944 and 1946. A total of 24 cars in the class were built. They had originally designed for eventual use as electric cars.
As originally built consisted of 19 x 800 class cars and 5 x 850 class cars. The only difference being that the 850 class cars were fitted with baggage compartments. End concertinas were originally fitted, but removed when modified for use with diesel railcars (red hens).
Reclassified to 860 class for use with 300 class diesel rail cars numbers 300 to 347. The ordinary Westinghouse braking on the cars for engine hauled trains was replaced with S.E.M Electropneumatic air brake. They were therefore not suitable for operation with steam or diesel locomotives. After conversion they had a seating capacity 56 passengers.
