LNER Clayton Steam Railcar
The LNER purchased a class of eleven steam railcars from Clayton Wagons Ltd of Lincoln between 1927 and 1928. The design was distinctive and very 1920s – the coach body was articulated over a geared steam power bogie, with the bunker carried on the latter in front of the coach.
They were used for branch line services around Yorkshire and the East of England and lasted until 1937.
