Was used in the construction of the RHDR, but after the line was finished, was not needed and was sold to a showman in Blackpool. Was sold on several times and ended up in a scrapyard in Belfast, where it was found by the current (4th) owners of the RHDR in 1972. It was restored and returned to service in 1976. It is rarely used, except on special event days.
