addition to these, there were eight in departmental stock: four ballast wagons (62881–62884), two water tanks, one travelling crane (429S) and a match truck (429SM). The open goods wagons were also used for coal, and had carrying capacities ranging from 6 to 10 long tons (6.1 to 10.2 t). The flat trucks included six designated as timber trucks – these had one or two transverse bolsters to support the load. The crane was hand-operated, and could lift 5 long tons (5.1 t); and the match truck was used to provide room for the crane jib when travelling.

It seems likely that this is a mistake: the empty rolling stock for the excursions was stabled on the tramway during the racing, but there was no passenger station. The tramway is clearly shown on the mapping of the period, but no station is marked on any Ordnance Survey map in the relevant period.

The IoW(NJ)R was steadily descending into heavy indebtedness, with many landowners still waiting for their money, and debenture interest payments being left unpaid, and important track improvements being left undone. Against this background the Joint Committee took over the working of the IoW(NJ)R on 1 April 1879. 1663:

He was installed as the new chairman, and he soon brought in new managers and introduced more streamlined systems in the company.

These vehicles offered lower operating costs, but still required a crew of three; and they did not have the power to haul additional vehicles at busy times. However they avoided the necessity of running round at the end of journeys. One was ordered from 1726:. In fact two locomotives had to be acquired; the small number indicates how limited the train service was. The new independent arrangement started on 1 July 1913; passengers now had to change stations at Newport, and the inferior service and higher costs eventually pushed the FY&NR into bankruptcy.
