Enjoying all the responses to my original question! Seems to a term whose meaning has evolved to suit the need. Cheers Peter Cokley

Gairloch aerial tramway
LRRSA@groups.io Digest #69 Thanks John! I find it interesting that Knox, sitting in his Sydney office, had this sort of detail in his head, certainly a General Manager who earned his pay! Cheers Peter

CSR Victoria Mill wire tramway 1890
Wondering if the wire tramway that was used at Gairloch around 1890 for taking the cane across the Herbert River near the Victoria Mill near Ingham QLD, was of the ‘Self-Acting Tramway’ style of wagon

1890s cane trucks
Forgot to mention the bogie trucks originally ordered for Duranbah also had brakes, so the proposed swap was for Duranbah’s bogie trucks with brakes for Caleb Marks’ single trucks, with brakes. Cheers
