Default trailer

Hi guys, thank you very much for the replies. Ford Geelong had rail lines entering the plants many years ago, with some remnants of track still in the ground today.
Tony, the trailer table top is 1.53 metres wide and 4.88 metres long. The wheel ( steel rim ) diametre is approx 53cm wide. And the tyres approx 15cm wide ( not height ).
Hope this helps.
I've drawn nothing so far.

So in the Old System, the deck is 5ft x 16ft. That's far bigger than any railway baggage trolley.

The square holes in the sides and ends look like sockets for stakes (or stakesides), while the suspension looks capable of handling a load of a ton or two. I would suspect it is a material trolley for a factory or warehouse, but then it also looks similar to trailers I have seen used to carry fuel for Traction Engines. I don't think it has any Military connections.
