Thanks Paul, they are strange, first time I've seen it running. Yes it's diesel powered, it was built in 1958 in Germany for use on small branch lines.

That reminds me of the German trams I used to travel on in the 1950s... Love that last one Rye ... looks like that chap has started a dance routine ......

 The Mono versions work a treat... but good to see the  poppy wreath in colour on this Day of Remembrance.

Well they were built in Germany, British Rail ordered 5 of these, 4 were saved for preservation, the KWVR has 2. Not sure what he was doing I managed a couple of shots - it was like he was saying 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the all singing and dancing Railbus', I do have to a bit of cloning to remove people on the platform. The second image in colour was 3 shots after image 3. The steam engine also had a poppy wreath....
