    The class was developed for the Western Region of British Railways (and to Rail Blue), which had opted for lightweight locomotives with hydraulic transmission, when allocated funds under the British Railways Modernisation Plan of 1955. One hundred and one of the class were built between 1961 and 1964, when it became apparent that there was a requirement for a medium power diesel-hydraulic design for both secondary passenger work and freight duties.
    Corporate Identity scheme in 1965 some locomotives received all-over BR Rail Blue with small yellow warning panels. This was quickly changed by the return of off-white window surrounds. The final variation was BR blue with full yellow ends, the yellow being extended around the cab side windows.

    The Cab isn’t modern but feels good! :)

    I suggested Class 35 for the West Somerset Railway as I believe they operate two. But on any route would be great.

    Coincidentally I think we posted our suggestion more or less at the same time.

    Why? You never saw 'Cromptons' across the Yorkshire Dales??? A BR Blue livery would be best suited to the Great Western route, unless we get another Southern Region layout released in the future for us to authentically drive it on.
