Over 500 of the Brush Type 4 diesel electronics were produced-áat Brush traction and the BR Crewe Works. Originally painted in two tone green they were later re-painted in the more-áworkmanlike colours of BR blue as per the new Hornby example. It can be seen that the prototype on which this-ámodel has been based is in need of a spell at the-álocomotive wash - work schedules permitting! The model is fitted with a ringfield motor and has pickups on eight of the-á12 wheels.
