Visually, the Drewry DSA was very similar to the earlier DS class, although the upper half of the cab tapered inwards as opposed to the straight-sided cab of the DS. Most retained their original red livery to the end of their service with NZR. 225 worked mainly at Taumarunui, in Central North Island, was withdrawn August 1986, and preserved at Cable Bay.
