Railway or tramway goods vans and wagons; not self-propelled
In plain English
This category includes railway or tramway freight cars and wagons that do not have their own power source. The items are separated into groups based on their specific design and function. One group covers tank-like vehicles, while another identifies self-discharging models that are not tanks. Remaining items are classified by whether they are enclosed, have high fixed sides, or fit none of these specific descriptions.
