The society has secured the long term loan of 2 "Fruit Machine" controllers, this represents another major step forward for the society with regard to missing components. We wish to extend our thanks to all involved in The Bury Type Two Group (24054) & Keith Buckley, who stored the Driver Controller as a spare for the 24061 Preservation Group. Many thanks go to Bob Fussey of the NYMR and the Bury Diesel Group for Transport of the Driver Controller from Grosmont to Bury. Both controllers are in need of overhaul and fortunately Brian Baily who was involved in the work on D8233 during its time at Crewe has recently joined the society and volunteered to overhaul both of the units.
