Since 1932, Perkins have been manufacturers of diesel engines for agricultural, marine and construction vehicles as well as diesel engines for power generators. The company was established at Peterborough by engineer Frank Perkins (1889-1967) who provided the business acumen and Charles Chapman (1897-1979), who as the main engineer provided the technical expertise. From the outset F. Perkins Ltd sought to develop more efficient, lighter weight and faster diesel engines. To promote their new engines, they built demonstration racing cars powered by Perkins diesel engines which during the 1930’s broke land speed records for diesel powered cars. In 1968, Perkins purchased L. Gardener & Sons Ltd who were a manufacturer of diesel engines for commercial, marine and military vehicles. Today, Perkins is a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc and continues to manufacture diesel engines.
This promotional badge for Perkin’s diesel engines depicts the company’s emblem.

In exhaust gas recirculation, some of the exhaust gas is returned to the fresh air intake. The resultant mixture of fresh air and exhaust gas has a lower calorific value in terms of the volume. This lowers combustion chamber temperatures, thus reducing the production of nitrogen oxide (NOx).

GM 079 passes the site of the former Charleville Junction with the RPSI '171 for 171' railtour, viewed from OBC 293 / Effin.
The junction was between the Cork mainline and the Cork Direct Line which diverged towards Limerick, via Croom and Patrickswell. The clearing between the trees behind the loco marks the former trackbed towards Croom. The Cork Direct Line between the junction and Patrickswell closed in March 1967. A number of bridges and station structures still exist on the alignment.
079 was very busy this time last year on weedsprayer duties in East Cork and along the South Wexford & Tipp lines.
