Restoration of a Wickham Trolley
Page 2
Tim Hamilton and John Brewerton are restoring a Wickham Trolley at Leeming Bar during 2023. This trolley suffered an accident a number of years ago and has been languishing at Leeming Bar in a very poor state in many pieces ever since.
Wickham trolleys are very useful for the track maintenance teams when doing work along the line
