Description:
These smooth sided open wagons feature distinctive external bracing and have a steel floor. They also feature 2 pairs of double side doors. They are fitted with external tarpaulin lashing rails and fittings for ridgepoles in the gunwale.
At the time of ordering, there had been a heavy demand for bogie open wagons. This led to a shortage of wagons and tarpaulins for superphosphate traffic. The above photo shows a proposed design of semi-permanent ridgepoles for super traffic. All wagons were supplied as built with 8 individual ridgepoles and regulations specified that they were to remain on the wagons at all times.

Builders:
- 200 wagons were built by EPT at their Sydney (Marayong) workshops in 1975-76. They were numbered 34601-34800.
Coding:
- As introduced, they were coded CDY
- After 1979, they were recoded NOCY.
- Those wagons transferred to NRC in 1994, were recoded ROCY.
- NRC converted some for carrying wheelsets and recoded them RZCY.
- Silverton Rail purchased some and recoded them SOCY.
Modifications:
- In 1983, their capacity and gross was increased by 2 tons after the 2 ton handicap was lifted from vehicles fitted with 2CM(YMC) bogies
- Most Freight-Corp NOCY’s were converted to the 55 (or 52?) NQKY container wagons in 1997.
