The Dilly

A heavy duty inspection trolly, constructed on the chassis of a Baguley open carriage (ex. Alton Towers) in 2004. Originally powered by a portable generator, a Kubota engine was delivered and fitted in Autumn 2004. The dilly is built so it can provide a power source for use on the railway away from mains power - this enables welding and other maintenance tasks to be achieved more easily than before.
