Where/What is this 'tram'

[Peter Fox]

I was given a calendar for Christmas. One picture per month. All British (London bus, RAF biplane etc.) but none captioned. I've attached a picture. The whole thing is weird. There are no overhead wires in the photo. No electric rail. The coupling looks good for O-gauge. (The tilt at the front is my careless photography.)

Isle of Man?

Isle of Man?

I don't think so. I did wonder if it's just coaches awaiting a loco to move them, but maybe that's way off, too!

I'm thinking loco hauled, no sign of any controls at either end (although they may just be hidden). There's so many amusement park style places it could be. Its a bit of a random pic for a calendar

Reverse image search tells me: Giant's Causeway and Bushmills Railway, Northern Ireland

Its three coaches of a four coach DMU, with the nearest to the camera being the power car

On 10 July 2010 the railway took delivery of a specially customised 4 coach diesel multiple unit capable of accommodating up to 90 passengers. Manufactured by Severn Lamb UK Ltd., it was designed to enhance the visitor experience to the North Antrim Coast and to recreate, in so far as was possible, the passenger experience of the original hydro electric tram. Commissioning of the new rolling stock by the manufacturers began on Monday 12 July with the inaugural journey three days later. The DMU is powered by a Kubota V3600-E3 engine and shares the line with the previous steam rolling stock. All vehicles run on bogies. The power vehicle is on the Causeway side and is shorter (4 windows) than the three trailers (5 windows).

And following on from @talltim's research, here's another photo of the rolling stock on Wikimedia Commons:

Thank you detectives.
I learn something new every day.
