Now resident on a new railway and having a new owner, Fred became The Sergeant, partly because it was dwarfed by the ALR’s The General and partly because Ken was a Sergeant in the St John Ambulance. (he has moved onwards & upwards since and is now a Divisional Officer !)
To complete the package and extend The Sergeant’s range, a driving trolley was designed and built at the ALR in which an additional, wired in parallel battery is carried. This trolley entered service on the 30 June 2007.
