| Perhaps the most curious vehicle to be seen at Upminster depot during the recent open day was this four-wheeled, battery-powered, remote-control 'locomotive', used to manoeuvre trains in the wheel lathe shed. Malcolm reports that it was built by Niteq Transport and Handling Systems of Holland in July 2004. It is their model 1500-E, number 04-B217. I'm not sure what the contraption on the front is (with a winch in the 'cab' to lower it) but it appears that the loco can only couple to trains at one end. 29th August 2009. |
