Thanks for the responses.  I wasn't meaning to suggest that waycars would
be interchanged, but it struck me that if wood underframes were considered
in 1928 to be unsafe, might not the same consideration be given to waycars
(and their occupants).

However, as I've been writing this, I had a quick brainwave and checked the 
1920 diagram book. There are no waycar diagrams but there is the details 
page, which shows that steel underframes had already been applied to most of 
the wood framed cars except some of the drovers.  So, it would seem I have 
answered my own question!

I'll do some more digging and try to establish a more exact date for the 
rebuilding.

Thanks anyway

Rupert
