	Transporter wagon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In most cases, a transporter wagon is a narrow gauge wagon for transporting standard gauge equipment, allowing freight in standard gauge wagons to reach destinations on the narrow gauge network without the expense and time of transshipment into narrow gauge wagons.
		Additionally, a large standard gauge wagon balanced on a narrow gauge transporter wagon is not very stable, and is generally restricted to low speeds of 15 mph or so.
		Transporter wagons were uncommon in North America, where the practice of exchanging trucks was more common.

		An interesting addition to the rolling stock were a pair of transporter wagons (a further three were added later), it was not unusual to carry narrow gauge wagons on standard gauge transporters but the Leek and Manifold is believed to be the only example in Britain of narrow gauge transporters carrying standard gauge wagons.
		Each station was equipped with a short standard track end on to the siding so that the standard gauge wagon could be pushed off the transporter onto this track and the train (and transporter) continue on its way.
		In this way the problems of break of gauge were circumvented as most freight was carried in standard gauge wagons throughout.
