The 1800 class railcars were a class of self-propelled railcars built by Commonwealth Engineering, Granville for the Queensland Railways.
History
In 1949 the Queensland Railways placed an order for 12 aluminium two-carriage 1800 class railmotors with Commonwealth Engineering, Granville. Each set comprised a power car (RM - "Rail Motor") and trailer car (TP - "Trailer Passenger").
Two trailer carriages remain in service on the Gulflander, operating between Normanton and Croydon, and one motor car is preserved at the Rosewood Railway Museum. The bodies of four others are privately owned.
