Yes I bet it was mate.
But you know, those little buggers had a atmosphere all of their own, they certainly were or indeed still are a locomotive that will never be forgotten.
One thing about them, if you dropped on a train of wagons to pull them out of the yard or go from one yard to another,and started to move, they had a sound all of their own, brilliant engines in them.
I enjoyed them immensley.
