Keith & Dufftown Railway
The Keith & Dufftown Railway is an 11 mile diesel-only line in Scotland linking the two towns that form the railway’s name. The line relies heavily of DMU's which operate all of the passenger services and have done so since the line’s opening. It is the most northerly heritage railway in the UK.
The railway has been home to a fleet of Class 108 vehicles since the year 2000 and the collection stands at five vehicles, of which four are in use in two 2-car sets. Formations change as maintenance dictates.
In 2023 they expanded further with the surprise addition of a Scottish thoroughbred Class 107 2-car set for restoration.
A longer term resident is the unique prototype pacer Class 140 set which arrived in 1994. It has however never worked in preservation. It was joined in 2020, appropriately perhaps, by and example of the final development of the pacer: a 3-car Class 144.
With no immediate indications of changes in traction, it would appear the Class 108 sets will continue to operate all of the railways services for some time into the future.
