On site, you will find information on the Lives and Times of the dependable BR Sulzer Type 4 diesels of class 44, 45 and 46. Daily Diaries from 1958 onwards; individual loco diaries; livery and nose-end info. It is anticipated that the site will contain train diaries, recollections from those who befriended the loco's(and some who didn’t!!). Also in the pipeline is a piece about which locos contained which major components and a gallery of photos aimed at the differing appearance of each individual loco through their lives.
