Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A great day out at Quorn & Woodhouse station on the Great Central Railway yesterday at the special Quorn Wagon & Wagon restored wagons day. Some lovely old vehicles on display, both cars and trains. In 1936, the company built a prototype 3-wheeled articulated vehicle for the Midland Railway (MR), but no production vehicles were manufactured, as the MR felt it was not robust enough for their needs. The design was not wasted, however, as in 1940 Brush Electrical Engineering asked them to design a small battery tractor unit for use within their factory. The result was a scaled-down version of the MR vehicle, which Brush manufactured. Having built several for their own use, they then started selling them to other customers, and branched out into battery electric road vehicles in 1945, effectively becoming a competitor to Morrisons.
