This vehicle was the first to arrive at Quainton Road after the Quainton Railway Society took the site over, it being delivered on 4 April 1969. It had worked its latter years on British Railways at Northampton, conveying men and materials to remote areas of the Region, and generally where there was no access to the track, being withdrawn in 1965. Its original works number is 8263 which shows it was one of a batch of nine trolleys ordered by the British Transport Commission on 24 November 1958, arriving at Manchester in 1959.  It was built by D. Wickham Ltd. of Ware, Herts.

The engine is the very successful 1323cc petrol driven JAP twin-vee, which is used in many applications in industry and has even been used in motor racing. Over the engine, transmission and petrol tank there is a longitudinal bench for the eight passengers and there are footboards on both sides. Underneath the bench there is also an enclosed toolbox. At the ends of the trolley are two sheet metal windscreens fitted with three fixed safety glass lights, and between these screens there is a wood framed canopy covered with canvas from which are hung waterproof side aprons, as draughty an arrangement as you could conceive! The brakes are operated by simple foot-pedals with linkage to hardwood brake blocks onto the four wheels, and for wet weather there was sand available from one sandbox to supply sand in front of the nearside driving wheel.

The trolleys were kept on short pieces of track built at right angles to the operational line. When permission was obtained from the signalman or line possession obtained, the trolley was pushed by hand over the operating line and turned on a small turntable to face in the right direction.

These trolleys are no longer used as they are too slow to get out of the way of modern high speed trains. They also cannot carry significant amounts of equipment, even when hauling two trailers. Trade union rules also conspired to hasten the trolleys' demise as the trolleys were required to be driven by a train driver and not a permanent way ganger. As the driver was not permitted to work on the track, the trolley was largely redundant during the work period.
