A bogie version of the 4 wheel M wagon, the fact that many more 4 wheel M's were built after the MF's indicates that these bogie vehicles didn't suit VR's needs in a cattle wagon even though the MF's lasted over 50 years. They were built as MM class and received the MF code when fitted with roller bearing bogies in the late 60's - 70's which enabled them to travel at express goods train speeds, (60MPH) | |||||||||||||||||
