DWWR Railmotor

DWWR Railmotor

These Railmotors were built by Manning Wardle in Leeds in 1906 for the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway. They were the only engines to have outside running gear and the first engines to have Belpaire boilers on the DWWR network. They were first used to transfer passengers from Lownsdowne Road to the Ballbridge Sidings in connection with the Royal Dublin Society showgrounds. Afterwards they were used as relief trains on the commute from Bray to Westland Row and were also used on the Bray to Greystones shuttle service, often travelling 10 return trips a day with each trip lasting 13mins with the additional stop at Bray Head halt. However, they proved very uncomfortable with passengers complaining about how it was impossible to read a newspaper and that children often got sicksick due to the motion of the train. It became such a problem that passengers would often enquire at the ticket office if the next train was a Railmotor and if so, they would leave the station and catch the tram instead. The Railmotors were then separated in 1908 but continued to run with their coach counterparts with the addition of a six-wheel third brake. Uses AJS Script.
