Hello Shunterfan and welcome to the Forum. Very nice to have your memories of these locomotives thanks.

Gray - yes, I always wondered why they chopped the cab off one of the engines but it may have been something to do with centre of gravity or traction? If I remember correctly, the slave unit was additionally weighted with concrete so that the combined unit was something like 120 tons.
