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.
