Unique Lesmac Arrow Motorised Trolley

(c) Paul Moseley 29 April 2015

On 12 July 2024 the Trust received a call from Ecclesbourne Valley Railway asking whether the Trust were
interested in this Trolley, that they were looking to dispose of.

The Trust’s board discussed this and by the 17 July, a deal had been agreed for it to join our fleet.

Our generous supporters at Lesmac (Fasteners) Ltd have supplied us with documentation for the Trolley as
well as some original video clips of it being demonstrated.

With the EVR focussed on a number of events, it was agreed that collection would be delayed until after
their main season. Andrew Briddon has kindly agreed to collect the Trolley for the Trust, and it will initially
be stored at his Darley Dale site.

The Trolley was built in 2010 and is Lesmac Works No. LMA001. It was fitted with a Honda GX200 RHQ4
engine.

Once the Trolley has been collected, a full survey will be carried out to ascertain what work is required to
return it to service.

The Trust is interested in any other photos and videos of the Trolley. If anyone has any, please contact the
Trust.

Fund Raising

The Trust continues to appeal for funds towards the £10k target we set ourselves last year and hopes that as
we are able to share more positive news, more donations will be forthcoming to enable us to move more of
our collection to our secure locations, provide further suitable storage accommodation for some of our older
& more historic vehicles and make some significant progress on several restoration projects.
