350HP Diesel shunting locomotive No. 09018 was purchased by a consortium of members who have set up a company to manage the loco, which is hired by the Railway as and when it is needed.
The 09 class of diesel-electric shunters were a Southern Region version of the ubiquitous 08 class, geared for slightly higher speeds. D4106 was built at British Railways’ Horwich Works on 13 November 1961. It was renumbered as 09018 on 31 December 1973. On the Bluebell it initially retained HNRC orange and grey livery, with the lettering removed, since the priority was the acquisition of a pool of spare parts.
