From the Facebook post that alerted me:
It's at Painter Bros. Hereford and shows Lister Railtruck 40407/1954 in 2011 when I bought this, and the other Lister 54181/1964, which had already been lifted off the track by the overhead gantry crane. To the best of my knowledge the title of this video is correct. There are a tiny number of other British industrial locations which still have narrow gauge tracks, an even tinier number with locomotive haulage, and preserved locomotives have operated on industrial lines. But I don't know of any other locations in the British isles where a narrow gauge diesel locomotive has run in a factory in industrial service after the day I shot this video. Immediately after the last frame of this video the crane lifted 40407 off the rails and an era ended. At 1:30 you can see one of its successors, a battery electric machine.
