Although the class experienced reliability challenges and had a relatively short operational career, it remains one of the most recognisable and unusual diesel designs of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocomotive D8599 in weathered BR Green with Small Yellow Panels captures the appearance of the class during its early service years.
