Motor Trolleys (Jiggers)
I currently have 3 motor trolleys in my collection. My first one is a aluminium framed 2 man trolley (WW 6701) which is a runner. This Trolley has been used on sevral occasions at SteamRail Wanganui open days to the public and twice on the Waitara Presivation Sociteys line. My second trolley (WW 6893) is a 2 man aluminium framed rubber tired trolley. This is currently in bits after the prevous owner dismantled it to start restoration. My 3rd trolley (WW 7078) is a 4 man woodern framed trolley, this is now in bits to as I have started its restoration. I had built my own Jigger shed which holds all 3 Motor Trolleys trolley plus my material trolley also, but have since moved house and unfortunately it couldnt come with me. I now have plans to build a new jigger shed at my new place shortly.

My first Jigger is a signal maintainers jigger complete with a ladder sitting on special brackets attached to one side. It is mostly aluminium framed and can fit 3 people if not carrying ladder otherwise 2 people. It is a runner. It was built here in Wanganui at Plant Zone Aramoho and I got the following info off the labels on the back of the headboard. It was last certified with Ontrack on 12 Feb 2010, and its Transfield Services No was TS 052299. It also comes with red and green flags.
