A very chunky PH bogie loco is nearing structural completion in the workshops, and a dormant private project has recently started up again. This is a BE bogie loco, seen here in clearance trials yesterday. The body is likely to be similar in style to Bouncer and the other new loco. The seat is temporary for the trials and comes from a ride-on mower.
