A question for the railway buffs

 Bid on eBay, was beaten for the railbus but won these. I don’t quite understand what l  bought . Why do these wagons have an engine? I am a novice.

  1. Also a novice, but it looks like a tram engine to me. I only say that because it looks a bit like Thomas’ friend Toby the Tram Engine.

  4. Would guess it is some sort of repair /works inspection truck ?

  5. Looks like some kind of improvised trolley for parcel goods or maintenance. Nice haul!
