Brake Van (ex-NSWGR):

Count: one vehicle
Road number: NSWGR # only

Disposal: Body removed from underframe and presumed scrapped.
Underframe may have been utilised for open or flat wagon within works. If so, was probably one of the sundries acquired by AI&S in 1940.

5-ton Travelling Crane:
Count: one vehicle Road number: not numbered Regarded as plant, not railway rolling stock, hence unnumbered. Intended use appears to have been to replace worn out coking stills and other heavy lift tasks within the works. Scrapped at Newnes, c.1956

These vehicles were permanently close coupled into pairs with a swivelling bolster on each vehicle.

Remains of two sets are still in the valley.
