Simplex

4wDM 'Morris' (works number 2028) was built at Motor Rail (Simplex) Works in Bedford in 1920 and started out at Exeley & Sons Ltd in Shropshire from new. In 1935 the original petrol engine was replaced by a modern diesel design then was sold that year to Davy Morris Works in Loughborough (hence the name), working there until withdrawal in the late 1980s. It is seen here arriving at Brownhills West on the Chasewater Railway during the Industrial Railway Society AGM day at the railway.
