They were the first Bo-Bo diesel electrics to arrive in Britain after the Second World War and the first American built locomotives in Europe. They survived in service at Port Talbot until the mid-1980s, one reason for their withdrawal was that they required a two man crew compared to other shunters. Three were preserved, two of which are at the Nene Valley Railway and the adjoining Railworld attraction.
