North Eastern Railway Autocar No.3170 of 1903 vintage passes Kinchley Lane on the 11.05 Loughborough to Rothley service. Great Central Railway. 26 01 2020

A real novelty vehicle of considerable vintage, North Eastern Railcar autocar 3170, appearing courtesy of the N.E.R. 1903 Electric Autocar Trust.

 

Originally built in 1903 as a petrol-electric railcar, this unique vehicle has been beautifully restored and is now diesel-electric.

 

It proved to be a very popular attraction over the weekend and was full to capacity on every trip it made.
