Wickham Type 27 Mark 3 Open Inspection Car/Gangers Trolley
Wickham 9234/1962

This trolley is of the open type and often referred to as a “ganger’s trolley” as it was used by permanent way staff to access areas needing attention. It has been quite extensively rebuilt as it was in derelict condition when acquired. It is now fitted with a Toyota 2 litre diesel engine and gearbox. The drive to the rear axle is fitted with a reverse mechanism so that the unit has the same number of gears while travelling forwards or in reverse. The workshop staff at Hoekfontein use it for line inspections.
