Bogie & Wheelset Carrier Wagons

As bogies and wheelsets became worn or in need of repair, the railways transported these items to the major workshops on specially modified vehicles.

There were 2 common 4-wheel wheelset wagons –

- SWF - converted from a S Truck underframe,

- KWF - converted from a K wagon underframe.

Here are a few common bogie types: -
