Between 1963 and 1965, the bogie boxvans coded BLF_ were modified and reclassed to BLX. This allowed them to be interchanged between broad and standard gauges via 'bogie exchange' facilities.
The number group was 23 - 151.
They were steel boxvans used for transporting most goods.
For special cement traffic twenty four vans, numbered 121 - 144, were modified, stencilled and recoded to BLF_ in 1967/1968.
This made the BLX numbers 23 - 120, 145 - 151 from this date.
BLX 120 was specially modified for cheese traffic. The van was not stencilled for the traffic and the area of traffic was not known by the author.
In the 1979 recoding the BLX class was relettered to VBBX. One van ( BLX 113 ) was recoded to VBAX 113 by mistake. It ran several weeks until relettered.
From 1990, the vans were removed from service. From 1991, the vans were being scrapped.
Some of the van bodies were sold from the Bendigo Workshops. Some of these bodies can be found in the Yarrawonga area.
