Passing Ruislip siding on the Met, I can see a long train of yellow wagons, each with a cab structure at one end. Can anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of these?

Perhaps it looked like this train seen passing Liverpool Street which was carrying ballast for use during track maintenance.

I'm familiar with the long battery locos.
After googling images it seems they are Clayton shunters, but could be diesel, battery or hybrid. As they are all coupled together in a long siding, maybe not yet in service.

They’re not the old JLE diesel locos?
