These little, four-wheeled shindies were made to go where larger locomotives couldn’t. They were prepared to handle fast-curved strains on roads, thieves, warehouses, and factories with just a 6-foot wheel base, and they might even employ regular waggon flip tables.

Most of the 20 strong classes found more employment in the craft after being built to finish in the 1960s; a few even made it into the 1980s before being rescued for cover.
