In 1961, five cars were built under license in Australia by Commonwealth Engineering for the New South Wales Government Railways. They were built to a loading gauge smaller than North American and were only long. One car was built with a buffet/snack bar accommodation in one end and was non-powered. The cars worked the "South Coast Daylight Express" between Sydney and Bomaderry. Age and mechanical problems led the cars conversion to locomotive-hauled coaches beginning in 1982; the last self-propelled run occurred in 1986.
