Background[]
They had an incredibly short life, owing to their now infamous unreliability which cemented them as a failure, and were quickly replaced by Class 20 locomotives. Withdrawals began in July 1968 and the final locomotives were withdrawn in December 1971, although D8521 and D8598 lasted at Derby Research Centre until 1978, and D8568 worked privately until being put up for sale and subsequently preserved in 1982.
For Train Simulator, the Class 17 was developed by Iron Horse House and was distributed through their website. In June 2014 Engine Driver announced that the British Rail Blue variant would be released on the Marketplace[1]
