Believed to be inspired by the railmotors of the Great Western Railway (UK), this railcar was built by Sentul works in 1917, based around a conventional 0-6-0 chassis. Little is known about its working life, but it was converted to a conventional coach in 1931, and the trailer coaches were still in use by the engineering department in the 1980s.
