This train is a bit more unusual being formed of Amberley Museum's two Wickham railcars from the East Riggs MOD system which was, until it closed, situated near Gretna Green in Dunfries & Galloway. The capacity of this train is limited to 14 persons but provides an unique experience.
The builders, Wickhams, specialised in light rail vehicles, for a world wide market.
Amberley Museum is an open-air industrial heritage museum at Amberley, near Arundel in West Sussex, England. The museum is owned and operated by Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre, a not-for-profit company and registered charity, and has the support of an active Friends organisation.
The museum was founded in 1978 by the Southern Industrial History Centre Trust and has previously been known as the Amberley Working Museum, Amberley Chalk Pits Museum, and Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre. It is located within historic chalk quarries. Chalk was extracted and processed for lime on site for more than 100 years, and the museum still houses a number of its original lime kilns. In addition, holdings and exhibitions at the museum cover a diversity of industrial and local heritage collections, including narrow gauge railways, local bus services, and a multitude of light and rural industrial subjects.
