That "car mover" looks way too modern for the RGS, we had similar on the NZR, called them Wheelbars and these were forged same as a spikeclaw but without the notch. Vigorous up and down motion coupled to swift advancement of the bar moved the wheelset. Most sidings were laid close to level, it doesn't take too much to move an MTY.
Just how many Orebins did the RGS actually serve? There was one of these up on the Enterprise branch as well.
