self-propelled vehicles
As well as our steam and diesel locomotives the railway is also home to some unusual self-propelled vehicles.
483007 ‘Jess Harper’ is one of the former London Underground trains than ran for many years on the Ryde to Shanklin line
Drewy Railcar No 2 once ran on the Ryde Pier tramway and is now operational at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway after a major reconstruction.

DREWERY RAILCAR NO 2
For over 100 years, from 1864 until its closure in 1969, a tramway ran the length of Ryde Pier.
