Two ton wagon (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twain

'two' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ton wagon' is the wordplay.
'ton' becomes 't'.
'wagon' becomes 'wain' (I've seen this before).
't'+'wain'='TWAIN'

(Other definitions for twain that I've seen before include "Mark --, American author" , "Kipling denied ever meeting" , "Two, formerly" , "II?" , "I want (anag) - US novelist and humorist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
