Main Details
JACKY [Warriner] is a flameproof battery-electric mining locomotive owned by SADMC for use in the Gulch copper mine at High Topps.
Originally supplied as a Danny class "diesel" by KGR Ltd in Orpington, JACKY was re-built as a battery electric locomotive.
The most recent rebuild in 2021 provided new frames, wheels and electric traction equipment supplied by Essel Engineering Ltd.
The batteries themselves are housed in a battery box above the main frame, and access for battery maintenance and charging is provided by doors on the top of the battery box.
JACKY has also had additional steel sections added along the sides of her main frames to increase weight for improved adhesion on the severe gradients encountered on the climb to the Gulch copper mine at High Topps.
