91RM at the Daylesford Spa Country Railway in Central Victoria, Australia is the sole operating example of the twelve 280hp Walker Railmotors that were introduced to service on the Victorian Railways in the mid 1940's and withdrawn by 1980. These railmotors have an unusual configuration with a central power unit containing twin Gardner 8LW diesel engines with two passenger cars articulated off the central power unit. 91RM has been restored to the mid 1960's livery of VR blue and gold with a "Dayglo" orange stripe and is generally used on days of heavier loadings, such as school holidays and on long weekends, etc...This video features shots of 91RM in action along the line between Daylesford and Musk over several days between August 2012 and January 2013.
