The British Rail Class D3/14 was a single diesel-electric shunting locomotive, built by the London and North Eastern Railway at its Doncaster Works with a Petter engine and Brush Traction electrical equipment. It was laid down as the fifth locomotive of the D3/9 order, but its frames were moved from Doncaster to Brush Traction's Falcon Works in Loughborough, where it was completed in September 1947 and tried out by the LNER that November. It passed to British Railways on nationalisation in 1948 and worked from March, Hornsey, Woodford Halse and New England sheds, mainly on short freight services around London, until its withdrawal in October 1962. It was then returned to Doncaster Works and scrapped in July 1963.
