Great Western Railway
Steam Railmotor 93
A look at GWR Steam Railmotor 93 operating at the Didcot Railway Centre and on a visit to the farewell to Old Oak Common Open Day.
At Didcot, we see the rail motor paired with auto coach 92 and take a ride inside the carriage on a journey along the branch.
The Railmotor, built in 1908, lost its power unit in 1934 and was converted into a conventional auto trailer. Purchased by the Great Western Society in 1970, following use as a "Work Study Coach". The new power bogie unit was constructed at Tyseley Locomotive Works in Birmingham, while the carriage was restored at Llangollen Railway, with the restoration completed in 2011.
