Before the mainline unit was assembled Hastings Diesels took a 3 car unit to The Swanage Railway and the Kent & East Sussex Railway. The trailer selected was 60527 which was hastily repainted for the job. After the contract was over it returned to St Leonards still in its  green livery which it still carries today
