The first coaches possessed by the Bexley & Clayton Railway were built to the same design used by the Redwick & Knightsbury Railway. Though by 1844, plans were already created for their own coach designs. The first of these new coaches were first class coaches, construction of these were split between these were split between the carriage and wagon works at Newbridge and Robert Walker & Co., a local stagecoach builder. Second class coaches were built to the same design, though without side windows, though only by Walker. No third class coaches were built to the 1844 pattern as, by 1851, a more modern design had been created that would be produced through to the end of the B&CR. This design was of six types; Three Compartment Third, Four Compartment Second, Four Compartment Composite 2nd/3rd, Four Compartment Third, Two Compartment Brake Third and Brake Luggage. The 1851 pattern coaches were "painted" in a varnished mahogany livery with gold lettering / numbers and a white roof, older coaches would be painted into a similar brown colour to match.   As with most early railways in Etorea, the B&CR used chaldron waggons to transport materials like coal and stone in their early days. For this, a set of "dumb" buffers were fitted along side the regular sprung buffers on all locomotives except the passenger (2-2-2 & 2-2-2WTs) locomotives. By 1852, the company began to purchase more conventional / modern wagons though dumb buffers remained on the locomotives and lowered stanchions were fitted to these newer wagons. The first brake vans were built at the carriage and wagon works at Newbridge and had L shaped dumb buffers and were of a primitive design, later brake vans would be built by Joseph Wright & Sons in England to a design similar to the coaches that they also built (though none of Wright's coaches never saw use on the B&CR).   Out of all the rolling stock owned by the B&CR, very little is preserved. One locomotive (№20), two chaldron waggons (№s 38 & 90), a goods van (№115) and two coaches (№26/1846 & №80/1857) are all that remain of the company's rolling stock fleet. These preserved vehicles can be found at various preserved railways around Etorea.
