Been on them for about 7 years - 40mg dose. Never had any side effects and all 6-monthly check-up results show normal or better levels of cholesterol etc.

This is modelled to represent the early days of BR. At some point during this period, Eastleigh found itself short of new BR transfers, and a number of locos were outshopped after overhaul without the totems.
