The site's owner saw a photograph of a device like this being used on an American railroad and had his own replica built using a genuine Ford Model T. This includes a jacking system that will lift the wheels free of the rails and allow it to be rotated on its axis in order to go the other way round. This was carrying passengers during the lunch break and I had a ride before joining a long queue for my pork with roll and salad.
