Some of the diesels seems to be in a really poor condition.
What will happen with these locos?

Quite a lot of them are just empty hulks, some of them not even on their bogies. I suspect they are being cannibalised for spares to keep a few of the better ones operational, and will eventually be scrapped.

Open plan diesels. Where do they originate from? I havent seen that design around before.
Not quite on the rails.

A lot of the older diesels came from the Vulcan Works in UK, later English Electric.
