| NOTES: |
|
| | It is uncertain whether this REO was originally one of the five WA Government Tramways units, or a sixth unit (one source states that six Buda diesel-engined REOs were purchased by the Government Tramways, which at that stage was not an independant entity but was under WAGR control) | | | | | | May have been the REO which replaced WAGT Ford V8 ( 5) on the Perth-Kojonup service, | | 9 Nov 1942 | | | | Re-engined with Perkins P6 diesel | circa | 1945 | | | | May have been the bus used to inaugurate the Northam-Toodyay via Clackline service | | 10 Sep 1946 | | | | If so, it was also operated as a school bus between Mokine, Spensers Brook, Muresk and Northam under contract to the Education Department | | | | | | According to WAGR Annual Report, withdrawn & sold | by | 30 Jun 1950 | |
