The "Trucks"

The Truck is a special item of rolling stock used for goods and maintenance duties on the Mountain Railway. She is also used for stores and rescue trains, as she is the only rolling stock known to be capable of crossing the fearsome Devil's Back Ridge during a gale (on the Snowdon Mountain Railway popular belief is that the normal carriages could cross their Clogwyn ridge if the gripper holds it to the guard-rail, but this has never been tested). For these trains, she is loaded with sandbags and her tank is filled with water to increase her weight. Although she is not allocated to any specific engine, there was a period when she worked exclusively with Lord Harry when the Manager took that engine off passenger trains.

She has no name, but "the Truck" is always spelt with a capital T.
