SAR Class NZ (Side B) (ex V-3)         
Class NZ wagons are various types of wagons that were either purpose built or reclassified for use in non-revenue service. This is a Class V-3 goods train guard's van that entered service between 1975 and 1978. Side B is the stove side and its interior layout is, from right, three passenger compartments to seat up to 10 people each, the guard's cabin with a toilet on the far side and a stove on the near side, a door and a seat next to a wall periscope on each side, and a baggage room with a double door on each side. After the use of guard's vans ceased in the 1980's, some were retained for use as shunter wagons and reclassified to Class NZ, to carry shunting personnel on local moves to serve industrial spurs and sidings.
