PLASMOR Ltd continues to use a smart and well-maintained Fowler Class 422 0-4-0DH (4220038 of 1966) at its Heck Works, Great Heck, North Yorkshire.
This is believed to be the last remaining Fowler-built diesel loco in industrial service in the UK.
Fowlers were once very numerous in industry, right across the UK, and could be found in small works’ sidings to large industrial complexes.
