NT76 is still very much in service.  It is used as the large power shunter (for those jobs NB30 can't
handle), and works a large number of our ballast and other works trains.
The NT, although not looking as good as the NSU, is far kinder on the track, hence generally gets more
mainline work than the NSU.
Apart from the occasional failure account old batteries, the NT has been a good unit.

Cheers,

Peter
