NSWGR 1921 Bradfield Power car TS12

In the 1920s, the Bradfield electrification program began. Until then, trains continued to be sets of steam-locomotive-hauled wooden end-platform cars. In 1921, 101 wooden bodied driving-motor cars (later numbered C3000–3100) were built by Ritchie Bros and Meadowbank Manufacturing Co. C3045 (now preserved) was built by the railway workshops as a prototype, but became the very last to enter traffic in 1923. They were originally steam-hauled EBB/EFA cars, prior to conversion to electric traction with the opening of the first section of electrified line between Sydney and Oatley in 1926. These wooden cars had steel sheathing for additional strength, and became known as the 'Bradfield Cars'. Some 'Bradfield' cars were converted to parcel vans after accidents. Other 'Bradfield' cars were rebuilt to resemble 'Standard' (1927-type) cars in the 1960s, to prolong their lives until new double-deck cars could be delivered to replace them. The last 'Bradfield' power-cars were withdrawn from service in 1975. C3045 is preserved static at the Rail Transport Museum, Thirlmere, while C3082 has been retained by State Rail Heritage. C3082, the former Elcar 'Pilot' Shunter, was used on a number of single-deck railfan tours in the 1980s, often with Wooden trailer car T4279
