RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 10, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2014 The 2000bhp one was the most powerful 4 motor British diesel until the HST. That loco also had an extra set of grilles Hi Russ I scratchbuilt a Brush Type 2 and numbered it D5835. At a show this guy pointed out it should have extra grilles, well the photo of it I had it didn't. Later on I found a few photos of it with the extra grilles. Renumbered the plastic card loco and set about hacking an old Tri-ang loco to make D5835 with the extra grilles. It was a few years after that I found out the extra grilles were on one side only.
