Libbie : 2w-2PM {std gauge}
Built in 1920 by Baguley [Burton on Trent] on behalf of Drewry Car Co. : wksno 1097
Petrol engined, developing 10 horsepower, classed as a railcar.
One from a batch of 20 ordered by the French Government Railway School in December 1918 and delivered in 1920. Designed for Bi-directional use, with flip-back seats, the removable control levers pass through the floor. Weighing only 1.25 ton can be lifted off the track, using a set of suitable poles.
{the original trailer hasn't survived, but information from Baguley's can be found in Staffordshire's Record Office, data whcih would allow a replica to be built}
Libbie arrived at Statfold in August 2006 and was restored over the winter of 2006/7, using the original mechanical parts and replicating the coachwork. The latter, with original paintwork, has been retained for display purposes.
