I haven't done a clearance test yet, but it's not been designed with FF in mind and certainly wouldn't have run there "in real life". That's not to say it might not appear on occasions, like The Rat does.....................

Could it be a 'Dragon Wagon?'

My guess is that it's a chicken wagon

It is! However, swamp dragons on Discworld are only around 18" high, so it'll be able to carry 4 in brick-lined "compartments"...............

The paintwork is all black, so it wouldn't show up. However, one section of the outer skin may well get distorted because of a dragon having exploded some time in the past.................

Prototype For Everything Department- as seen on the Kirklees Light Railway in Yorkshire, a lion wagon!

To stop any problems with the load (which can be explosive) I've subdivided the load space thus..................... (and yes - they ARE brick walls......................)

I hate to be a downer, but you do know swamp dragons tend to explode when you put two of them together, i know Lady Sybil had a great deal of trouble at times at the sunshine sanctuary....
Have you passed the idea onto the Sto Plains Hygenic Railway?

I think my next project will be a vehicle with a padded cell at one end and men in white coats sitting at the other!!
