Just browsing the internet and came across a drawing for the Armstrong Whitworth D9, which I believe is the fore runner of all diesel locomotives on Br Rails. It was the test piece at the time Br were considering the big shift to diesel. I find myself in the position of been suprised that this bit of history is not available in trainz.
Anybody any toughts on this.

Re: Armstrong Whitworth D9
This is interesting as I'd not heard of it before. Was it really the forerunner? Perhaps as a diesel electric with axle hung traction motors? It was only in service between July 1933 and June 1934, so it's pretty niche, but I'd like it!
