    I've had a go in it too. It had a rocking, rolling motion.
    I even had a driving lesson in it, albeit while stationary at Rolvenden.
    There was a roneoed instruction pamphlet for it. I might still have that somewhere...

    I am told that I, too, have travelled on it, but I was too young to remember. Again, Boris was the driver on that occasion, and my dad had known Boris in their respective youths.

    The railcar was used as hauled stock on a number of occasions before it's final withdrawal.
