This little gizmo was a shop switcher. It is a single power truck. Electricity was supplied by a teather if my memory is correct.

I would bet the heavy duty cord on the ground to the left is the power source

This is radio controller and battery powered Blomberg B truck used to move locomotive in and out of the wheel true building. It's called the 'Bug'.

It's a cabless remote-control battery-electric locomotive. The 'thether' is the recharging cable, not the power supply.
