Lady Diana's cab

The Lady Diana is a 20hp Motor Rail “Simplex” 4wDM (Builder's number 21579 of 1956) and was previously named “Diana”. It was obtained by the FR Society’s Staffordshire Group about October 1972 from the Upper Tame Drainage Authority, Minworth, Warwickshire. Refurbished for use on the Deviation it arrived on the railway in July 1974. It carried the Deviationists’ number JGF2, referring to the “Jolly Good Fun” that is had by all who work on the FR, and received the name “Diana” after the wife of Adrian Shooter, who was one of the Deviationists. The name was changed to “The Lady Diana” to commemorate the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. The cab was observed in Glanypwll yard in March 2009.
