The WW&F took a stacker (essentially a battery-operated light duty forklift, manually operated) and greatly modified by adding 4 air-powered tampers. Boothbay Railway Village looks like they took a part of a full sized forklift and added the tampers to the tines. I haven't seen the Boothbay one in operation.
