PCH1224 became DRC42 and PCH1227 became DRC43. Both entered service late
in 1975. DRC40 and 41 had been ordered by VR in 1968 and were almost
ideltical to the PCH. All four were withdrawn in July 1994 and all were
preserved. 

DRC40: Privately owned.
DRC41: ARHS Museum. On permanent loan to CHTR?
DRC42: Privately owned.
DRC43: SRHC, Seymour. 

DRC43 is currently the only one mainline registered.

Cheers
David
