Believed to be the only surviving gas powered tram in the world. It is, however, devoid of machinery has it has been heavily restored from a derelict wreck used as a garden shed. Neath Corporation operated trams using compressed town's gas between 1897 and 1920. That's no dummy on the top deck - that's Nigel who often appears on Geograph.
