"Werribee" a Victorian Railways 6 wheel wooden sleeping carriage, with an elliptical roof and a composite wood steel body with flush steel external panelling. Built in 1928 at Newport for use on the Adelaide and Mildura lines. These steel sheathed cars were 3 inches wider than earlier cars constructed for The Overland, being 9 feet 9 inch wide.
A feature of the modified cars was the unequal length of the end vestibules. The one at the end where the tenth sleeping cabin, smoking saloon end of the standard cars, was 1 feet 9 inch longer than the other being 9 feet 5¼ inch long.
Werribee was fitted with air conditioning in 1937. To accomodate the gearbox drive of the air conditioning equipment a heavier fabricated bogie of a generally similar design was provided for the rebuilt sleeper. It was also recorded Sleeping car No.1 (name removed) and painted blue.
In 1969 it was damaged by fire at Irymple when the down Mildura sleeping car train struck a loaded petrol tanker at a level crossing. It was taken to Newport for repairs.
Biggest bag project I've ever done, but SO worth it! Thank goodness for my Bernina or I'd have never gotten it done. Not for sissies, that's for sure, or sissy sewing machines! LOTS of thicknesses!

Made with a few changes, no end pockets, longer straps, magnetic snaps in front & rear panel pockets & a slightly shorter zip. Added bag feet to the bottom of the bag.

I made this for my sister for Christmas, but I want to keep it! I still have to trim ends and handsew the lining in. I added a bunch of pockets to the lining for more versatility. I'm also going to try to find little feet for it.
