Summary
DescriptionFord Rail Motor Train at York (Layerthorpe) Station, Derwent Valley Light Ry.jpg |
English: Ford Rail Motor Train at York (Layerthorpe) Station, Derwent Valley Light Railway. The two rail buses with petrol engines. And car bodies from Charles H. Roe were based on Ford Model T-chassis. Normally, they operated as a back——to back pair with the——front vehicle under power and "the rear vehicle being hauled with the "gearbox in neutral,"" although they could work singly between York and Skipwith at which places turntables were installed——to turn the vehicles around, there being cab at one end only. Despite impressive fuel economy, the railbuses could not save the passenger service on the DVLR. Following its cessation in 1926 the pair were sold for further service on the County Donegal Railways in Ireland. |
