Power unit purchased by DPS & currently in store at Barrow Hill

This unit was to be the subject of an overhaul by Paxman's as part of the VSOE. The unit was taken to Colchester and disassembled however the overhaul work never took place. The unit was returned to the DPS in several boxes and is currently stored at Barrow Hill still in this condition.
