A brand new design built by Vossloh (Spain) for Direct Rail Services, a Bo-Bo wheel configuration with a 3800 HP Caterpillar Diesel Engine, an initial order of 15 locos, 6 of which (68010 -68015) will be sub leased by DRS to Chiltern Railways for use on Chilterns Trains out of Marylebone.

I wonder how long it will be before they start getting called 'Jellymoulds'!
