More than 160 of these robust diesel shunters were built in various configurations for industrial railways, with Ruston offering mechanical, hydraulic or electric transmissions and a choice of 0-4-0 or 0-6-0 wheel arrangements. While most of the 164 '165DEs' built in the 1950s/60s were two axle machines, a number were delivered as 0-6-0s including 5 to British Rail Western Region as PWM650-654 (as produced by Heljan for Model Rail Magazine/Kernow Model Railway Centre as a private commission).
