    Did one or two of these mark 5 TRAMMs have a full set of ballast ploughs under the trailer cab? I know 98215-98220 don't, but it looks like there may have been provision for them

    I think it was the later generation of TRAMMs which had ploughs, quote from my trusty OTP book "the ploughing of outer sleeper ends and ballast shoulders"

    You can see the ballast ploughs a bit better at :

    Also has a brush box with cross conveyors, and a quick look at the photos on this site show 212 & 214 to be the same.

    as usual good plant lying to rust because of network rail not wanting to spend money but wasting in other areas

    any idea if the rams etc shown under the cab in this pic

    http://www.ontrackplant.com/photo/98205move4

    are part of the plough or ballast conveyor as mentioned above?

    No, the rams under the front of the cab are for rail thimbling equipment.
