Auto Trailer Cab
The cab of ex-BR Auto Trailer No. 231. Built 1951 and preserved in 1964. The forerunner of the DMU, they allowed trains to run back and forth along rural branch lines without the need for the locomotive to detach and run around its train at each end of the journey.
The coach is now preserved at Didcot Railway Centre.
