Hector

Hector is a small 0-4-0 battery electric engine. It is owned by the Model Engineers Society. It is operated occasionally by Mike Whitehouse and Charlie Maguire. 
== History ==
Not much history is known about who built Hector or when it was built. The engine was found at the back of the carriage sheds of Drumawehy Junction's railway with a few old wagons. Drumawhey had no use for the engine and was planned to be scrapped. However the Model Engineers Society were in need of another shunting engine to help cover their current one while it was away for maintenance. There was some dispute about the arrival of the engine but it soon became a worth addition to the railway's fleet. 
== Livery ==
Upon discovery, Hector was painted in a dark blue with yellow and black hazard stripes. It temporarily wore a workshop photo grey livery before it's current livery of Racing Green with a grey cab roof. Its hazard stripes have been left intact. On it's side, it wears the society's logo.
