The Davenport-Type Co diesel shunter, the first miniature locomotive obtained for the line. Small but sprightly, it is powered by a three-pole motor, and has minimal low speed control as a result. A headlight (which needs replacing, though the locomotive operates perfectly well without it), bell and exhaust stack help to make this a unique and distinctive diesel shunter - a perfect locomotive to build the line and add to the flavour of the railway.

The side of the locomotive - detailing is suprisingly good on this engine, despite its build date of the mid-1970s. Its livery is strong, but subtle, and it provides a unique look.

The rear of the locomotive - as can be seen, the motor is housed inside the locomotive. There are lots of rivet details all over the locomotive, and other detail bits surrounding it. A strong-looking locomotive, that is also capable of pulling substantial loads.
