The engines burnt and leaked oil, had underfed bearings, vibrated and popped heads and pistons, and suffered from ring scuffing for most of their lives. It was only the engineering excellence, and perseverance of
Midland Railway Workshops staff that kept the locomotives operating, and performance

The seeds for the construction of the class were laid in by the then WAGR Chief
Mechanical Engineer, Tom Marsland, with a proposal for the acquisition of 87 diesel locomotives, including 3 small jetty shunters, 18 diesel shunters and 66 mainline locomotives, later reduced to 48 when railcars were
536:
Rumours persisted that the engine was either war surplus, or formerly from a sub-maritime application. Neither of these are correct, despite some publications suggesting this. The myth may have arisen from
Crossley's success in delivering robust engines for marine and other modes of transport.
513:
At the time of construction, the HST-V8 was an untested concept, though the engine itself was an evolution of a design used successfully in patrol boats during World War Two. One line of thought is the motor was an evolution of either of the HRN8 marine diesel, or the HRP8 stationary diesel.
548:
The Smith Royal
Commission into the class identified blind faith in the British manufacturers, and chided the WAGR for ignoring the advice of supervising engineers in the UK who reported problems with the diesel motor during testing. Whilst CIÉ re-engined their similarly powered Crossley

The X class revolutionised operations on the WAGR. Their light axle load of less than 10 tons meant they could travel on all lines, and the dual cab arrangement eliminated the need for turning. They were quickly allocated to express passenger trains including the

Whilst the class were built with locomotive pneumatic braking and train vacuum braking systems, during 1969 and 1970 eight XA class (1402, 1403, 1406, 1408, 1409, 1410, 1413 and 1416) were modified to operate with dual vacuum/air braking systems manufactured by

locomotives to rid themselves of the problem, The Smith Royal
Commission recommended against rebuilding, proposing that the entire class be replaced wholesale. To be fair to the WAGR, they were not the only ones that rushed into buying unproven traction:
615:
In their final years, those still in service were reputed to have performed well. They ran grain trains in the South West as late as 1984, and provided power for trains following the reopening of the
Fremantle line up to the last retirement in 1988.
585:
From
December 1963, Midland Workshops fitted 10 of the X class for multiple unit working, and these were reclassified as Xb class. Units so converted were not fitted with communication doors, and retained their original 10XX series numbers.

to allow them to operate air-braked salt traffic on the
Esperance Branch. This equipment was removed in the early 1980s, only to be reinstalled in XA 1406 (October 1986) and XA 1403 (November 1986) to allow these units to haul hired

Within the WAGR, the class earned the nickname "Hummingbirds" due their distinctive engine noise, while they were called "Submarines" by rail enthusiasts due to the widely circulated myth that they had submarine engines.

improving. In the end, over 600 design faults, mainly in the
Crossley engine, were overcome. One of the strategies used to minimise problems was to de-rate the engine to 1045 hp (officially quoted as 1000 hp).

During construction, 16 locomotives were fitted with multiple unit control and denoted as XA class. These locomotives included communication doors at each end, and were numbered in a separate block starting from 1401.

and developed 1,200 horsepower (895 kW) at 625 rpm, though in 1981 they were down-rated to 875 hp at 600 rpm. There were no valves, and inlet and exhaust were via ports in the cylinder walls.

The last to operate on the public network was XA1401, under the stewardship of Hotham Valley
Railway, working a consist of sleeping cars back from Dowerin on 27 August 2004.
