Inwr20. The Warships were based on the German V200's I believe. The diesel-hydraulics were just non standard to the rest of the B.R. fleet, all the other regions opted for electric transmission while the erstwhile G.W.R. went on it's own merry way and no-one at the top tried to stop it. The least reliable of the hydraulics seemed to be those built by North British; the class 41's, 43's, and 22's.
