Wooden built Platelayer's Trolley Kit 7640
These were the wheel barrows of the track gang. Light enough to be lifted off the rails to clear the way for a train, robust enough to carry spare chairs, keys, the sledge, the pick axe, and the long spanners needed to maintain a section of track. Built from wood they were soaked in creosote like the sleepers and had the same dark colour.
Trolleys are a kit with wheels and need adhesive/ solder and paint to complete.
