I remember this painted red, in steam, when I was on the Track Chargeman's course in the early 80's. We had a day at Hither Green Loco measuring up a rather spectacular twist fault in one of the shed roads among other excercises.

Interesting that this and the machine it often worked with - 86101 - both carried the DB prefix rather than DR/DX!
