Ruston 408493 byggdes nytt för British Railways Western Region, för användning vid Signaling & Telecommunications Departments verkstäder i Reading och levererades den 19 januari 1957. Med avdelningsnummer 20 tillbringade loket hela sin livstid vid Reading, inrymt under Vastern Road-bron när det inte användes. Omnumrerad 1973 under TOPS till 97020, tillbakadragandet kom i april 1981 och shuntern kasserades på Reading av Cartrights of Tipton i augusti 1982, och ersattes av en Barclay Class 06 nr 06003, som överfördes till Reading från den skotska regionen.

Excellent model the wheels need to be black though easy enough to paint,the lifeguard bars would not stay in so stuck with some silicone.still to run in but from box it was smooth and responsive. A very nice addition to my western region locos.

Overall I am pleased with the loco, crisp moulding and decoration but let down by the sound level of Functions F6 - F12. I have tried adjusting via CV63 without success. I have invested in a LokProgrammer and this has not resolved the situation. Are the sound CVs ‘locked’ ? If so you should explain this and give the information that would enable the end user to adjust the sound. According to the list provided, the CV levels for F6 - F12 are 255, when I tried reading the values on my Digitrax DT 402 throttle they all read 1 - this needs explaining
