The Diesel -hydraulic was a western design, as usual the Western were doing there own thing not conforming to what the other regions were doing in loco development. An as now has been proved the Diesel-Hydraulic was a poor design otherwise they would still be operating on the mainlines today "Not on preserved lines" or running as excursions with fitter cover just in case they go BANG on the main line but thats just my view.
