Heritage Shunters Trust (HST) Class 97/6 Built in 1959 to works number RH 431761/1959, 97654 was one of 5 'Ruston & Hornsby' diesel shunters purchased new by the Western Region of BR in 1953/1959 for PW duties. Numbered as PWM654 by the Western Region, it was delivered to Hookgate Welded Rail Terminal. However, it proved unpoplar for shunting Long Welded Rail Trains and by 1964 it was transferred to Newland PAD, which remained it's home until 1982. In April 1982 it was called into Swindon Works for an overhaul, which seen it emerge in Yellow livery and numbered 97654 under the TOPS system. Used on PW trains during the Paddington Remodelling in 1993, it was taken out of use and stored at Reading. In 1997 it was purchased by Jarvis Rail, whom moved it to Scotland with the intention of allocating it to Dalmeny to operate PW trains on the Forth Rail Bridge. It was delivered by road to Millerhill Depot, and ran under it's own power to Slateford OTP depot (via the Edinburgh Suburban Line). Here, it underwent asessment but unfortunately, without even seeing Dalmeny, it was deemed unsuitable for use on PW trains on the Forth Rail Bridge on a technicality and lay unused at Slateford OTP depot, although it was started up every so often here and even done the odd spot of shunting a track machine around the yard. In 2005, 97654 was purchased by Heritage Shunters Trust who moved it to Peak Rail in Derbyshire. In this illustration, taken on Sun 4th Mar 2007 at 13:58, 97654 stands at Roweley South on the Peak Rail.

D226 was one of two prototype locomotives built by English Electric at
Vulcan Foundry. The pair were identical except that D226 had electric
transmission and D227 had hydraulic transmission. The aim was to compare
the advantages and disadvantages of the two types of transmission. During
its BR life D226 (later renumbered D0226 to avoid duplication with a Class
40 loco) clearly proved its superiority over D227. Now preserved at the
Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, D226 has been named VULCAN.

This little diesel hydraulic shunter, D2767, was one of a batch built by North British. It is preserved at the East Lancashire Railway in Rail Blue, along with sister D2774 in BR Green livery. The survival of these locos is due to their sale into industrial use when withdrawn by BR.

B&KR/SRPS Prototype North British 0-4-0 diesel shunter. TIGER (NBL27415/1954) stands in the company of 08443 & 14901 outside the engine shed at Bo'Ness on the Bo'Ness & Kinneil Railway during the diesel Gala Weekend event on Saturday 4th September 1999. This locomotive is one of two such experimental prototype shunters used by BR in the early 1950's, the other being TOM (NBL27414/1954) which is also preserved. These shunters which have a max spped of 12mph are powered by a Paxman 6 VRPHXL engine of 160kW (225hp) at 1250rpm and have hydraulic (Voith L24V) transmission and can produce a maximum tractive effort of 112kN (22850 lbf). Normally this shunter could be found inside the actual museum building at Bo'Ness but for this years diesel gala event it had been brought out to operate with 14901 on the last train on saturday evening.

As we were heading to South Kenton on the Bakerloo Line we passed this unusual 'loco' at Virgins Alstom
Traincare Depot...and amazingly on the return journey actually remembered to take a snap of it. Apparently
is called a 'Unilok'. January 29th 2004 is the date.
