All railways have to start somewhere.The first passenger carriages of the Victorian Railways were fixed-wheel, with a mixture of first- and second-class bodies on either four- or six-wheeled underframes.Initial designs had some common themes; the A and B type carriages were for first- and second-class travellers, with C reserved for third-class. D class was used for guards' vans. The first vehicles were placed on four-wheeled underframes, later designs having a middle axle added.
