Hi and welcome back, this time we take a look at some of the early BR diesel locos that went on to be a great success, without doubt Maids of all work.
20 type 2 locos were ordered from BR Derby works and building started in 1957. All 20 were in service by Mid 1959 and when first introduced the locos found themselves on the Southern region due to late delivery of the class 33s.
Later further orders were placed with BR Derby, Crew and Darlington these locos had minor differences one of which was a move to alpha numeric headcode boxes. For locos build after D5114 Later classified as 24/1
By the time all 151 locos were in service they could be found on all regions of BR apart from the Western. #modelrailways #modelrailroad #modeltrains
