The Victorian Railways F class (diesel) is a class of diesel-electric shunting locomotives built by English Electric for the Victorian Railways between 1951 and 1953. The Victorian Railways bought ten 0-6-0 locomotives in 1951 as part of Operation Phoenix, a program to rebuild a network run down by Depression-era under-investment and wartime overuse, and they were built at English Electric's Dick, Kerr Works at Preston in the United Kingdom. The design resembles the British Rail Class 11 and the Dutch NS 600 class, modified for the Victorian 1600 mm broad gauge. Six identical units went to the State Electricity Commission of Victoria in 1952 and were later sold to the Victorian Railways.
