Swindon Works

97653, (formerly PWM653), receives attention at Swindon Works in November 1983. The Western Region had a fleet of five of these diesel-electric shunters that worked mainly in the Civil Engineers pre-assembly depots like Taunton Fairwater yard. They would also be used in engineers' possessions. Three of the five were preserved but this example was scrapped.
