The MTW wagons were introduced as part of the Lend Lease arangement between the U.S.A. and Quensland Railways. All wagons were built at the Ipswich Workshops to American standard drawings. The classification MTW actually stands for "Military Transport Wagon". There were 461 MTW wagons constructed, running numbers were as follows: 1-11, 13-29, 31-54, 56-60, 62-68, 70, 71, 74-79, 81-97, 99-102, 104-106, 108, 109, 112-115, 118-120, 122-124, 126-133, 135-140, 142-145, 147-150, 154-156, 158-175, 177-179, 181-183, 185-195, 197-204, 206, 208, 210-223, 225-227, 229-235, 237-241, 243, 245-261, 263, 265-271, 273, 274, 301, 302, 305, 306, 308-310, 312-319, 321, 323, 325-330, 333, 334, 336-341, 344, 346-363, 365-367, 369-375, 377-384, 386-392, 394-396, 398-423, 425-428, 431-440, 442, 444-448, 450-459, 461, 463-492, 494, 495, 497, 500, 744-800.
