This powered unit can be used to move single wagons in dockside or factory sidings, wherever the railhead is flush with the ground level, as in our picture. It is fitted with a JAP petrol engine, which drives a rubber tyred driving wheel.
This object was used at Lochside Distillery, Montrose, where production ceased in 1992, and was acquired from a private collector.
It is proprietary piece of railway equipment designed for shunting wagons in industrial premises where a locomotive would have been uneconomic.
