Painter Brothers, Hereford.
Lister Railtruck 40407/1954
Filmed in 2011 when I bought this, and the other Lister 54181/1964, which had already been lifted off the track by the overhead gantry crane.
To the best of my knowledge the title of this video is correct. There are a tiny number of other British industrial locations which still have narrow gauge tracks, an even tinier number with locomotive haulage, and preserved locomotives have operated on industrial lines.
But I don't know of any other locations in the British isles where a narrow gauge diesel locomotive has run in a factory in industrial service after the day I shot this video.
Immediately after the last frame of this video the crane lifted 40407 off the rails and an era ended.
At 1:30 you can see one of its successors, a battery electric machine.

Someone show this video to Lawrie(from LMM), he'll probably get very excited about a locomotive so new to preservation.

I like the body work they put on the Lister. The blue color looks lovely as well. Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱.

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.
