Although only small, this german shunter can haul two or three hundred tonnes. Saved by Oswald Steam after being withdrawn from service this shunter was sold to the VVT with the BR 52 221 after it's original owner no longer required it, on condition that it retained the same livery (these colours corresponded with those of the VVT).
A White diesel engine drives the axles via a hydraulic converter and chain driven transmission. The low footplate makes it easy to board or alight.
