The original engine was a paxman diesel originally designed for marine use & converted to loco spec, the engines were changed to the MTU a much cleaner running engine better performance got all the specs in my locker from the training course.
Some 35+ years old now and was sold to many parts of the world including Australia for one, was overhauled at Brush for the east coast the old GNER.
Can see it been around for at least another 10 years untill a replacement comes in from Japan.
