Bio
The Ironworks shunters' history remains unknown built they appear to be used by British Rail

Basis
Two of the Ironworks Diesels are British Rail Class 03 0-6-0 diesel-mechanical shunters, built by Swindon & Doncaster from 1957 to 1961 with 230 built. They were retired after 1968 due to being diesel-mechanical, not diesel electric. 56 are preserved.

The other three are British Rail Class 09 0-6-0 diesel-electric shunters, this class is mostly mistaken for the 08 diesel-electrics but have different gearing for a higher top speed. They were introduced in 1959 and 1960 to 1962 as TOPS 09/0s and were built by Darlington and Horwich works. In 1992 and 1993, 12 were rebuilt from the similar 08s to two other subclasses. 7 became 09/1s while the remainder rebuilt to 09/2s. 10 of the 26 of the originals have been preserved.
