Painter Brothers in Hereford. The company being part of Balfour-Beatty Group Ltd. They make Electricity Transmission Towers (They don't like to call them Pylons!) Whilst the Lister diesel looks have left for preservation. The system is still in use with a pair of 4w battery electric locomotives built by Clayton which are as follows. - 4wBE CE 5806/1973. - 4BE CE BO142B/1973. Today in 2024 Painter Brothers are one of the very few industrial locations in the UK that.are still using narrow gauge locomotives in any role at all.
Great footage, thanks for uploading. I only realised that Painter Bros had industrial locos a few weeks ago from some pictures on Flickr. I used to work pretty much next door in 2002. Quite tempted to make a model railway based on it.
Last run on diesel. They installed overhead wires instead? 😂 And why do they push the cars themselves while they have a locomotive to do that for them? So many questions...
Yes it was the last diesel run. They had two diesels at the time I bought them but the other one had already been lifted off the tracks. The replacements are Clayton battery electric locomotives. You can just see one at 1:30, inside the factory. I don't know why they pushed the wagons, I just filmed what they did. So many questions? Ask away.
Someone show this video to Lawrie(from LMM), he'll probably get very excited about a locomotive so new to preservation.
Don't tempt him, he/we have enough to play with already with standard gauge.

One of the few instances when something can be a toy and tool simultaneously
I like the body work they put on the Lister. The blue color looks lovely as well.
Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.
