    It must be deliberate, but the painting of spokes on the buffers of 57 308 combines with the coupler and pipes in between them to look like a bike to actually tied to the back of the loco at first glance! Clearly somebody with a sense of humour at DRS! (I can think of at least one candidate I know)
