I was thumbing through my copy of "Seventies Spotting Days - Around the Western Country" (how I desperately wish I was back in the free and easy 1970s......) and spotted a few Westerns with an odd square "grille" on the front. Pics of 1012, 1028 and 1056 are in the book with the grille (just below the windows centre left) plus, apparently 1039 & 1071 had them too, ruining the look of the beautiful "clean" Western front end I may add.
I cannot remember reading about them in my copy of Geoff Endacott's "Westerns, Warships and Hymeks at Work", which surprised me, Does anyone have any more info ?
