Description
Ordered in 1946 by GWR from Swiss company Brown Boveri et Cie but delivered to British Railways in 1949 after nationalisation. Many maintenance and reliability problems resulted in withdrawal in late 1960. The unique power unit was removed many years ago and it is not likely to be possible to return the locomotive to original condition.
