A one-off order dating from 1896, this trailer has chilled iron wheels making it unique among the fleet; when rounding tight radius curves of which there are many on the line, its wheels make a distinctive shrill ringing noise. It is presently painted in the short-lived 1957 nationalisation livery of green and white and usually hauled by similarly treated open car No. 16.
