![]() ![]() Some have a plate, held by 4 bolts and some have nothing. This loco has jacking points under the buffers. These plates show the manufacturer of the electrical equipment - BTH.Įarly 165DE. Another visual clue to a DE is the extra cast plates under the maker's name. ![]() Some (early?) DE looked the same as the DS but for the lack of jackshaft but some (later?) locos had recessed steps for shunters, at the front end. The traction motor on the DE locos drove straight to the rear axle so no jackshaft was used. This loco also appears to have a longer frame and the part of the bonnet in front of the frame is longer, presumably to accommodate something uhder there - a compressor or an exhaust scrubber? Then there are oddities, such as this one with a different radiator grille. Some 165DS had the rods arranged so there was one rod from the jackshaft to the front wheels and a connecting rod between the wheels, as shown here. Some industrial locos used this arrangement, as shown here. There external detail differences between the types as well as changes that are dependent on the age of the loco.īritish Railways owned a few 165DS and this picture shows the arrangement of the jackshaft and rods on the BR locos. Ruston & Hornsby 165s come in three flavours - mechanical (DS), electric (DE) and hydraulic (DH). ![]() I don't have anything like as many photo of 165s as I have of 48 and 88DS but I do have some sales literature so if people have photos of 165s, please add them. ![]()
