Equipment
The original cars were built by the Midland Railway Carriage and Wagon Company and were later followed by examples from GEC, and also a Peckham car. There were a maximum of six electric power cars owned at any one time, all being single-truck, single-deck vehicles with both enclosed and “toast rack” examples; typically these would haul several “toast rack” trailers. There were four steam tram engines, ordered from Wilkinson of Wigan.
A power car and trailer are restored at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra and another power car is in the care of the National Transport Museum of Ireland at Howth.
