The first cars were assigned to the following number blocks;

More cars were added in 1895 but these were unpopular with the travelling public as there was no window glazing in these cars. After a short while in service they were put into store and two were converted to powered freight cars, one being conventional freight car and the other was used as a cattle car. The 1895 cars are listed below.
