'Grandfather of modern trains' on show in Didcot

Help

Built in 1908, Steam Railmotor No 93 was taken out of service in 1934.

As an example of the first generation of trains that were self-propelled and could be driven from either end, it is seen as the forerunner of today's multiple unit trains.

Following a 13-year restoration, the only Great Western Society steam railmotor in existence is now on show at Didcot Railway Centre.
