Prototype Background

The AE First Class carriages were part of Victorian Railways’ mainline passenger fleet during the early to mid-20th century.

Built for long-distance travel, these cars provided a higher level of comfort for passengers and were commonly seen on express and country services.

Finished in the distinctive Crimson Lake livery, these carriages became synonymous with Victorian Railways passenger operations during the steam era, often running in rakes behind steam locomotives on mainline services across the state.
