PURPOSE
This
website aims to be a focus of interest for these
fascinating locomotives. Its purpose is to increase
awareness of diesel-hydraulic locomotives. Despite
withdrawal from traffic of British Rail's diesel-hydraulic
locomotives over a quarter of a century ago interest remains
strong. Emphasis is given to these former British
Railways Western Region classes and former German Federal
Railway classes.
These
pages are dedicated to the people responsible for development
and operation of the locomotives, the continuing efforts of
the preservation movement and all those with a related
interest. This site was launched in early 2002 to mark
the 25th anniversary of B.R.'s last diesel-hydraulics and the
return of "Western Champion" to the main line.
