Limited proposals for a small-scale heritage railway, deploying the restored shunter, also seemed to be going nowhere.

This fair will also include a piece of old Irish railway memorabilia, a very large shunter's master key.

A bright blue 1950s shunter, straight from the pages of Thomas the Tank Engine, sits next to a 1920s railway carriage used for storage.

Coupling under slow movement, the wagons being shunted together by two shunters.

Intelligent non-commissioned officers and men were converted into shunters, guards, and pointsmen.

The little chimney of the van smokes, and I hear the voices of guards and shunters talking cheerily together.

'We'll get you there in time, sir, if we have to go clear through the shunters.
