Ivo Hugh joined the railway as a platelayer/fitter in 1940 and his potential was quickly realised. He succeeded his father in 1951. When the railway faced closure after the death of Sir Handel Brown, he backed [[The Thin Controller|Mr. Peter Sam]] in convincing Sir Handel II that the line still had a future and to delay closure for a year. In 1952, he rendered emergency "first aid" to [[Rheneas]], allowing him to take his train to [[Glennock]].
