As usual, the Motor Rail Simplex Diesels performed as work-horses. For DC V, two of our fleet of three (Jonathan and Anne-Marie) were close-coupled together. If the truth be told, just one would have power to spare to do the work in hand, but two are more fun!

Dave Ruston (left) is a highly experienced locomotive fitter and has done sterling work with all our locomotives, for example restoring Sezela No. 4 and the NG 15.

Along with his brother, Steve Goodwin (right) has played an important part in the development of the railway. For him, it's a busman's holiday from his day-job working for a well-known railway engineering company in the midlands.
