Ford Railbus at Selsey 1935

            The Ford Railmotor (or Railbus) set with a cattle and closed van for company, abandoned awaiting their fate at Selsey after closure of the West Sussex Light Railway in 1935. Note the replacement disc wheels for the original curved spoke front wheels. The beading around the waist is missing across the doors, there is some loss of glazing, the corner post is missing on the rear car and the headlamp lenses have gone.
Delivered c.1923-25, they remained on the line until it closed on 19th January 1935. They were subsequently sold with the rest of the railways stock to F. Watkins, machinery dealer of Sling, Glos. on 3rd March 1936. Their eventual fate is unknown other than the bodies were removed from the chassis and were probably used as garden sheds.
