    May I ask why a diesel engine is being used to power a petrol electric railcar?

    The choice of a diesel engine is discussed in the second newsletter:

    "...It is doubtful that we could locate a suitable old petrol engine and new build would be prohibitively expensive, plus which one would you build? The original was useless, the Wolseley better but still underpowered, and we have no information on the ex MOD engine. Advice from both consultants and the HMRI suggest that petrol as a fuel source is a non starter, few if any preserved railways have petrol storage facilities; petrol is difficult to handle safely and also expensive."

    Thanks. I'd looked for an explanation on the website but missed it obviously.

    Short video has appeared of the Autocar/autocoach "outdoors" for the first time together:

    Still plenty to do, but an amazing achievement so far.

    Just a couple of thoughts one serious the other lighthearted. The serious one being that I really liked the rail level and bogie shots watching the ride of the wheels and vehicle. The other lighthearted one, is/could this be, classed as railway porn, what with the railmotor being naked :eek::rolleyes:with out the body attached:Jawdrop::Saywhat:?

    Just noticed a short piece in the latest Railway Magazine stating that it is due to visit the GCR "For a short period" after being on display at the Warley Model Rail show at the end of November.
