This is a diverse group of "departmental" vehicles which includes a breakdown crane, permanent way cranes, an early ballast tamping machine, lightweight trolley vehicles and a steam heating van.
In service, the breakdown crane and the steam heating van were the property of the Motive Power Department, while the other plant was required by the Civil Engineer. The Civil Engineer also needed to have a wide range of wagons reserved for his use.
