The newly completed Wickham pump trolley replica was tested at Dromod on the Cavan & Leitrim Railway 24-6-17. The 3 foot gauge replica is built from drawings of a pump trolley supplied to Bord na Mona (Irish Turf Board) in 1945 and is fitted with genuine Wickham wheels. Paul Gunning built the replica, his engineering skills are such that the trolley worked perfectly when placed on the track for the first time,
This is thought to be the only pump trolley in Ireland, it is now on display at the Cavan & Leitrim Railway, Dromod.
