Hi All

I am Treasurer of the Crowborough Miniature Railway and we need to purchase a 5" gauge driving trolley for raised track. Currently we run trolleys made by Polly Engineering and they have served us well but we wish to consider alternatives before buying another. I would be grateful to hear from any individual or club who has experience of running driving trolleys from other manufacturers, such as AME for instance?

Ride On Railways makes some nice equipment. I have one of their driving trolleys and am quite happy with it, they even made it for my gauge, 4-3/4". They make trolleys for both ground level and elevated tracks.
