I can remember going with my Uncle Pat who was a Railway Lengthsman 
Ganger at Tara, Quensland (Oz) in about 1946, on their Fairmont with a 
flat-top trailer, gang of half a dozen men with all their tools and 
equipment, plus a few kangaroo dogs. At the end of their length (about a 
45 mile length of railway they were responsible for), to return they 
simply stopped the engine (a 2-stroke), pushed the long magneto 
advance/retard lever back the opposite way and restarted the engine in 
reverse, and came home pushing the trailer.

It had no roof, windscreen, or other luxurious apointments - just a 
couple of padded planks for seats and footboards on each side, but I 
thought it was bonzer!
