Cameron Bridge Distillery loco for sale

The Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway have decided to sell various railway items like the 4w diesel mechanical locomotive,Cameron Bridge Distillery Company acquired in 1992 operational.This was some video footage that I took back in 2014 of the Ruston & Hornsby, 4w diesel mechanical locomotive 88DS type, and 4w Diesel Electric Locomotive,
Babcock & Wilcox, Renfrew, No.P6687. 165DE type, electric transmission. both at work on The Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway.
This locomotive was supplied new to the Distillers Company at Cameron Bridge in July 1952. It worked there until donated to SRPS in 1992.The engine drive is taken through a mechanical gearbox operated hydraulically and then by chains to both axles. The limit to the haulage power of small diesels like this can be the traction force at the rails, and in the case of this locomotive the available force is increased by fitting cast iron weights on both sides under the footplate. Buffers are unsprung and their large area avoids buffer lock on curved or uneven track. The "cow catcher" bars, fitted below both bufferbeams, serve the dual purpose of removing railhead obstructions and also of supporting the locomotive in the event of a derailment.
Distillers Company, Cameron Bridge Distillery .Built 1952, Ruston & Hornsby, Lincoln. Works No.321733. 88DS type.
When Britain had industries, many factories had private railway networks, or at least private sidings. Steam locomotives were never economical for use on small industrial systems, and so once diesel shunting locomotives became available in the 1930s, a thriving market developed.
Ruston & Hornsby built diesel locomotives from 1931 to 1967. This 88BHP type was in production from 1938 to 1967, 271 being built for industrial use, mostly for the home market.
