Virgin Class 57 Thunderbirds had Dellner couplings fitted in order to rescue Pendolinos and Virgin Super Voyagers. The Class 57's were re-manufactured from class 47s by Brush Traction at its Loughborough works between 1998 and 2004. Class 57s have re-conditioned EMD engines and traction motors from Class 56s. They were given  names by Virgin from the ThunderbirdsTV show's.
