Libbie : 2w-2PM {std gauge} Built in 1920 by Baguley [Burton on Trent] on behalf of Drewry Car Co. : wksno 1097 Petrol engined, developing 10 horsepower, classed as a railcar. One from a batch of 20 ordered by the French Government Railway School in December 1918 and delivered in 1920. Designed for Bi-directional use, with flip-back seats, the removable control levers pass through the floor. Weighing only 1.25 ton can be lifted off the track, using a set of suitable poles. {the original trailer hasn't survived, but information from Baguley's can be found in Staffordshire's Record Office, data whcih would allow a replica to be built} Libbie arrived at Statfold in August 2006 and was restored over the winter of 2006/7, using the original mechanical parts and replicating the coachwork. The latter, with original paintwork, has been retained for display purposes.

The Goose : 4-4wDM Built by Statfold in 2015 : wksno 9905 Statfold's home-built representation of the "galloping goose" / railcars that frequented many rural lines in America, these were usually adapted from road vehicles ... The Goose follows that tradition, being based on a Morris lorry chassis with a custom made body & roof-rack. The paint job, especially the cream stripe, reminds many people of American superhero comics. The Goose visited the 2017 Quirks & Curiosities Gala and worked back to back with the Ryam Sugar Company's No.1.

One of the two partially restored Co. Donegal diesel railcars [19 & 20] Withdrawn in 1998, work was started but stalled in 1999 (?) and they remain unfinished. There has been campaigning from the Steam Railway Supporters Association (and others) for the work to be completed. Due to the gearboxes, they need to run "back to back" and quite how they would fit into the timetable and operating season is another matter for debate. {originally posted 31 May 2021 @ 22:09:49}
