Autumn, season of mists...

...and leaves on the line. It's the season when the General Manager's thoughts turn to the battery powered fleet. Nowadays, there are two locomotives that provide this; the first is the little class 2092 diesel which in addition to being able to run off conventional track power also has an on board battery and radio control fitted.





The other locomotive is U Class 298.56, which is switchable between track power or a battery pack in a trailing van.
