The Mainland Inspection Trolley

The Mainland Inspection Trolley is a red track inspection car which was once borrowed from The Mainland.

Biography
When his engines became too busy to do track inspection work, Sir Topham Hatt borrowed the trolley to do line inspection duties. When Percy first encountered it, he thought it to be a car on rails, only for James to later discover it to be the trolley after nearly running into it.

Basis
The trolley is based on a Type 4B two-seat Wickham Trolley. Winston shares the same basis. One example of this type of trolley can be seen at Swindon Steam Museum and another at the Mangapps Farm Railway.

Livery
The trolley is painted red with black wheels and headlights. It has a yellow boot cover.
