[[File: BR_993898_20150426.jpg |thumb|200px300px|right| BR Ballast Plough Brake 993898]]
This Ballast Plough Brake, of type ‘Shark’, was built by BRCW at Smethwick in 1957. The type was based on an LMS design, and had large metal ingots installed below the Guard’s floor to add extra weight. Fitted with a handbrake and stove, they were used in ballast train working; the ploughs being used to spread newly-dropped stone ballast.
