I don't remember if I've ever posted a Rolls used as a Rail Inspection car. Mayo Singh's 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II, with coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly and railway wheels.

The car, chassis 137GN, was sold to J.A. Wattie in England in 1929. It had a Thrupp and Maberly limousine body put on it and was delivered in 1930. In 1933 Wattie moved to Victoria and brought the Rolls - and his chauffeur - with him.

Wattie died in 1939 and the car was put up for sale at National Motor Co. in Victoria. Times were tough and the market was not good for a large 10 year old luxury car. As best John can determine, the car eventually sold to the Superintendent of the E & N Railway, who had railway wheels fitted so that it could serve as his personal transportation car during inspection runs. But apparently the idea would not have met the approval of his boss, and the car was sold to Mayo Singh.

Singh was a prominent member of the Indian community and owned a lumber business and a short stretch of rail line on Vancouver Island. He died in 1955. His son recalls that the Rolls was used on the tracks but there was no way to turn it around, so the return trip in reverse gear was a little slow.

The next owner was Doug Holman, who put Packard wheels on the car and eventually sold it to Hank Remple for $250. He drove it for a year and then sold it to a friend in Calgary. The car was restored in the 1990s and may still be there.
