These two vans (Z6785 and Z6789) were converted from AS class six-wheeled mail vans AS253 and AS252 in 1906. the other AS became Z6790 later Z109. They retained their clerestory roofs at first unlike Z6790. They had 4'-10" bogies and were 32'-0" long. |

Z108 at least was later rebuilt with a body very similar to a type 7 van. This probably indicates that the rebuild happened at about the same time as the type 7 vans were being built. Despite being written off in 1968, Z108 survived until at least 1984 within the confines of Midland workshops where the photo at right was taken. |
