The two Schöma locos plus slave units at Hatfield peatworks(date: 1997).

At Wilmslow Peat Farm, the Lister loco pulls away from the excavator with 4 loaded wagons (date: 1999).

The Lister slowly makes its way back to the tipping shed at Wilmslow(date: 1999).

One of the few Motor Rails in near original external condition crosses a small bridge on the way for loading at Solway Moss(Date: 1996).

Solway Moss operated the only rotary tippler in England. It discharged two wagons at a time(Date: 1996).

Sand is loaded into the cab of a Motor Rail just prior to moving up to the tippler at Bolton Fell Peatworks(Date: 1999).

The tippler at Bolton Fell consisted of a platform that was hydraulically tilted up to about 50 degrees. This tippler also accommodates two wagons at a time(Date: 1999).

The Thomas Buck, the single Schöma loco currently at Swinefleet Peatworks approached Bank Top returning with a loaded train(Date: 1997).

An empty train just about to turn away into the peat fields with the usual train of 35 wagons(Date: 1997).

At Chat Moss, the works of Joseph Metcalf employed a similar process for emptying the wagons as at Swinefleet, and Hatfield. The dumper truck uses a modified fork attachment which slots into channels under the wagon frame(Date: 1997).

In the last couple of years of operation Joseph Metcalf LTD had obtained a Motor Rail from Alan Keef as operations had expanded to take over the nearby Hollands site (date: 1997).
