Drewry Railcar 2 was built in 1927 and is a reconstructed body on the original chassis and trucks. These vehicles worked on the tramway from 1927 to 1969 when it closed for the last time. They were originally built with a petrol engine and were refitted with diesel engines in 1959. They usually worked with a trailer with work currently in hand to build a replica.
