British Rail Class D2/10

Diesel and Electric Locomotives

British Rail Class D2/10 was a class of diesel-hydraulic shunting locomotives commissioned by British Rail and built by the North British Locomotive Company in Scotland. Their NBL/MAN engines were also built by the company, under licence from the German firm MAN. The locomotives were introduced in 1957 and carried the numbers D2708 to D2780. After their time with British Railways some passed into industrial use: D2767 was sold and by 1982 belonged to Burmah Oil Trading Ltd. at the Burmah Refinery in Stanlow, while D2773 went to the National Coal Board and worked in the South Wales Area at Cleynen South Colliery. Two locomotives are preserved, D2767 at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway and D2774 on the Strathspey Railway.
