The first steam railmotors date back to the mid 19th century, but the idea came of age in the early years of the 20th century, when a vehicle capable of being reversed quickly, and designed for local trains making frequent stops was required.
Since then a succession of railcars and multiple units, powered by steam, diesel
and electricity, have come to dominate the branch line and local services of our
railways. In the 21st century, with the introduction of Voyagers, Pendelino's and
Adelante's, those elite of all trains -
In the early 1970's the Great Western Society acquired Auto Trailer No. 212 which had been rebuilt from the original Steam Railmotor vehicle No. 93 in the 1930's, together with Auto Trailer No. 92, with the dream that one day they might be returned to operational condition, in original form as a steam railmotor and trailer combination. This vehicle is being restored here at Llangollen Railway. The frames are in the Loco Shed having new metal welded into them and the wooden body is to be rebuilt in the Pentrefelyn C&W Workshops.
Now, in the 21st century, that dream is starting to become reality at Llangollen Railway.
Do not miss the opportunity to see this project.
