These Ruston & Hornsby locomotives were used in permanent way yards in the south west and sometimes on weekend engineering sites. Some used to carry BR blue livery while others were yellow. Today only 97654 remains in regular use at Slateford.
I believe this one has been preserved and is now at Northampton & Lamport Railway.

I seem to recall that another example is preserved at Great Northern and East Lincolnshire Railway at Ludborough near Louth.

At the turn of the 70s a sympathetic driver allowed me to drive this loco whilst shunting in Radyr PW Yard.
An enjoyable morning.
