Turrella Tramway - Rollingstock










 

ROLLINGSTOCK MARSHALLING YARD

With its close proximity to the NSWGR it is not surprising that the Turrella Tramway and its subsidiaries have relied upon its neighbour and its suppliers as a source for rollingstock.

BCH
Arriving with a load of coal this hopper has remained with Tramway to carry steaming coal from the depot to the coal stages for loco servicing.
B Truck
This private owner ballast wagon owes much of its design to a British heritage in the hauling of minerals and ballast gravel on the island of Sodor.
BCA
This composite passenger/ baggage carriage is similiar in design to the CCA car (photo left), used on local mixed traffic.

This all purpose, 4 wheeled covered van can trace its origins to the Arnotts Biscuit Factory at Strathfield NSW before its arrival on the mixed goods of the Tramway.
