The return of Walker Railmotor RM32 - Daylesford Spa Country Railway

Описание: On the 31st March 2018 the Daylesford Spa Country Railway's 153hp Walker Railmotor RM32 had its public debut after being recently restored. Me and a couple of friends decided to head down to the railway to see the pristine railmotor in action. We start the video at Daylesford station where we get a glimpse of the railmotor, then see it in action trackside along various locations along the line.

Railmotor RM32 entered service on Tuesday, 24 March 1953 and was withdrawn on the Tuesday, 13 January 1981. The Walker Railmotors entered service from 1948 to 1955, intended to replace 1920's era railmotors on country branch lines. Three types were built; single railmotors with 102hp & 153hp engines, and two permanently railmotors with 280hp engines. They were designed by Walker Bros (hence the name), who also supplied the power unit, while Martin & King built the body. The train was assembled by the Victorian Railways. They were intended as a cheap solution to revitalize country railways as they only had a design life of 10 years, however a number remained in service for 30 years. RM32 was among the last to be withdrawn.
