I wasn't able to get everything I wanted before leaving o my travels hence its only a half complete video. But this is a brief look at how a shunter operates and what its like to drive one. I had a lot fun on these.

Those shunters remind me of holidays to Ireland when I was a kid. Waiting for our ferry at Stranraer port, watching the trailers being moved around.
The small stearing wheel takes a little while to get use to. I love shunting. Good to see you back, don't leave it so long next time.
This brings back memories. I was a yard shunter/foreman for a few years. the Terbergs are great little machines, basic but a great workhorse. Well, that is until you forget to unhook your lines when pulling off. :-D
great video i am thinking of going for a job driving one but have not drove a lorry in 10 years so very useful to watch

They are a different animal to your typical truck.
Nice to see you back. Nice to see how shunting works.
Your not miserable enough to be a shunter lol. Great vlog as always. Love the end trailer also. I really should do one.

Just Steve If I worked it long enough I'd probably get there. I wanted to show one blind siding to give an idea of just how much easier it is than a normal truck.

It takes a while to get used to being so exposed but makes reversing super easy.
