The perils of posting on the move via a mob, i managed to combine two dvd's together, I meant Diesel Hydraulic Heyday which Simon refers to. It looks to be the same footage, only on the dvd it's in colour with a dubbed soundtrack.
Turning to the interest in them were they really ugly duckling's? did they look uglier than other contemporary designs? and regarding the reliability, they were serviced in conditions that were not really up to scratch by a workforce who were familiar with steam engines and in a lot of cases resistant to change to the "new" technology.
As a result they seem to get a raw deal, cheers Rob
