Modeling
The JAF, JBF, JCF, JDF, JPF, JQF and JSF classes were all built to the same design, only the tops and bottoms were changed to suit the commodity carried. JCF's 101 - 115 were built as JCX's and recoded to JCF in 1977. 116 - 130 were built as JCF's. In 1978 101 - 115 were coded back to JCX. They were gravity discharge and only ran between Geelong and Arden St.
