 In an effort to make the Skips more appealing to rail enthusiasts, EWS are fitting them with special 'clag chimneys' which can pop up out of the loco and emit clag at the push of a button. This is clearly seen on 67001 at Weymouth although to date, no clag has been recorded issuing from these fittings.
