Shunting a set of brake vans at Chasewater Heaths. The lead locomotive is TH 103C which is a 1960 Thomas Hill diesel hydraulic locomotive rebuilt from a Sentinel steam locomotive (9390 of 1949). Although currently painted in NCB livery it previously worked in Stafford at British Reinforced Concrete. At the rear is Thomas Hill built Vanguard shunter ‘Helen’.

4wDM 'Morris' (works number 2028) was built at Motor Rail (Simplex) Works in Bedford in 1920 and started out at Exeley & Sons Ltd in Shropshire from new. In 1935 the original petrol engine was replaced by a modern diesel design then was sold that year to Davy Morris Works in Loughborough (hence the name), working there until withdrawal in the late 1980s. It is seen here at Brownhills West on the Chasewater Railway working a couple of nicely restored coal wagons, lettered for local collieries, during the Industrial Railway Society AGM visit to the railway.

Shunting at Chasewater Heaths with Kerr Stuart 3063 built in 1918. This little well tank gave us a great photoshoot even if it was dark, wet and misty the whole time.
