DCL Locomotive were one of the many manifestations of the D.c.L (dadacravatlaboratories), which Very Things were also a member of, after The Cravats split up in 1982. The band's only release was the cover of the Hollies' King Midas In Reverse" in 1984. The line up on that recording consisted of Svor Naan - main guitar riff, Robin Raymond Dallaway - vocals, snare drum, 2nd guitar and tapes, The Shend - bass.
