One of them replied thus: With a bit searching on that site, I found a film about the Mumbles Railway from the same person - it is at http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-mumbles-railway-1804-1960-last-journey-1960/ in case anyone is interested. It is mainly about the last day of operation, but sadly, it ends with scenes of work to break up the tramcars.
