Carriages (trucks) shown are:
DC Van - built by Metro-Cammell, UK and entered in service 1953 and 1954. These vans were used for transporting grain.

Rail Truck JW Class - 1895

M Class Rail Truck - circa 1870 - 1890
The M class rail truck was used mainly for transportation of farm and mining machinery. Built in England and imported into Australia by C.Y. O'Connor between 1891 and 1896.

ZD 23
Built by Stableford and Co. England and commenced service in August 1898 as accident van C2069. In 1900 it was reclassified as a passenger brake van. In 1942 it was reclassified as Z23 but in May 1976 it became breakdown van VC5154. This lasted only six months and it returned to number 23 but had the classification of ZD. ZD23 is behind loco T1804.

Livestock loader - currently under restoration.

Ore truck - used to transport lead from the local lead mine

Liquid tanker - not sure if it was a water tanker - probably was as steam was in fashion then :)

a great movie, lovely music too. Any chance you could do some close up stuff too? I know it's not for everyone but I love the detail in Wheels and tracks

thanks

@mikeycbd - not a problem doing some close ups.....i'll keep it in mind for my next videos. Tried to reply via a PM but got this instead: User mikeycbd has enabled friend lock. You will not be able to send messages to them unless they add you as a friend.

cheers

A lot of old British waggons & a Brush loco there, Brush Falcon Works is 14miles from me at the end of the Great Central Nottingham line & near the beginning of the Great Central Loughborough line. Still in business...though I don't think any loco's are made here at all now. Bombardier in Europe or General Electric in the USA/Canada make most of the trains running here. most of the Australian Loco's look USA built? Do you make trains over there..?

[lethalCT4E]

@Barryat11 - there is a group on the east coast that still make trains but from what I hear, a lot of the trains we have are imported either complete or in bits then put together here.

A lot of our early rolling stock and locos were English built and the amount still around today is testiment to good quality and workmanship.
