| Unidentified Arato tracking trailer, formerly at The Village Experience, Fleggburgh. It is understood that this trailer entered preservation from Garrett's works and had been used within the works. The wheels are smaller diameter than normal and it is speculated that the trailer was returned by a dissatisfied customer and then converted for use in the works by modifying the wheels. |
 |
| 16454 - Arato trailer in New Zealand. Originally supplied to W.A.McLaren. It has been converted into a conventional drawbar trailer by fixing the Ackermann steering stub axles to the main axle beams and making up a turntable to provide a front lock. Further details will reveal whether the turntable and rear sub frame have been created by separating the main trailer chassis into two parts. |  |
| 16470 - 3-4 ton trailer on phosphor bronze floating bushes. This was the prototype 3-4 ton steam wagon trailer; produced to supersede the Arato trailer that had not lived up to the expectations of a more complex and expensive trailer. |
 |
| Unidentified 5-6 ton roller bearing trailer, North East England. The identifying feature that distinguishes roller bearing from phosphor bronze bearing axles is that the roller bearing axles have grease nipples in the hub caps and for bronze bearings an oil filler plug is provided. |
