Chieftain

This loco, built by EVFR member David Jones in his home workshop, was completed in early 2015. It is a battery-powered freelance modern diesel design, built on a steel plate chassis using two Ride On Railways-powered bogies, and having pre-coloured aluminium foam sandwich body panels. The loco has been fitted with an MTronics diesel (Class 37) sound unit, and is also has a rear view camera.

The loco is used regularly at Fun Days and on other occasions and is very powerful, capable of hauling the heaviest of trains.
