@jamiehn123 No, they are now fitted with the Paxman VP185, as are the UK East Midlands Trains HST fleet. I believe the original Valenta engines were returned to the UK and entered into the HST fleet engine pool, certainly 43184 carried an ex-XPT Valenta in its Arriva Cross Country days.
I thought steam engines were withdrawn in '73!

I like how similar these are to the Class 43's we have here in the UK.
(Do they still have the Paxman Valenta disels in them? They were replaced with MTU's here)
