Unusual Locomotive and Railcars
All around our world different engineers designed vehicles which seemingly suited the circumstances with which they were dealing.
Across the British railway network, and particularly on some of the light railways which sprang to life after the Light Railways Act 1896, there were a number of unusual locomotives and railcars. This article focusses on two locomotives - Gazelle and Old Chainey. http://rogerfarnworth.com/2020/01/02...ailcars-part-1

The second are locomtives designed to serve the narrow gauge lines in The Guinness Factory in Dublin and a clever conversion vehicle which allowed the same locos to proviide traction on the Irish Standard Gauge as well. The third are railcars that were used by Colonel Stephens on a number of his Light Railways. .... http://rogerfarnworth.com/2020/01/03...ailcars-part-2
