E79963 is one of five vehicles built in 1958 by the German company Waggon und Maschinenbau GmbH, to a British Railways specification. The rail car ran on rural branch lines including Witham to Maldon and Braintree branches, and also the Cambridge to Colchester lines. E79963's claim to fame is that it worked the last train from Saffron Walden to Audley End on September 7th 1963. Moved to the East Anglian Railway Museum in 2012 the rail card is now undergoing extensive restoration.
