In 1912/13, eleven Islington Railway Workshops built frames were bodied for the South Australian Railways' Holdfast Bay line.[5] In 1913, eight trams were built for the Victorian Railways.[6][7][8] In 1916 it was awarded a contract to body four D class dining carriages for the Commonwealth Railways.[9][10] In 1924/25, eight trams were built for the State Electricity Commission of Victoria's Geelong system.[11]
