Further to the discussion on engines, the two HSTs retrofitted with
Mirrless engines were an unmitigated disaster. Paxman put the newer VP185
engine in 12 locos, but this was a Paxman peject rather than BR or any of
the subsequent leasing companies. The engines are more powerful, but have
a lot of teething bugs.
