Other Locomotives
In July 1961 an 0-6-0 diesel-hydraulic locomotive was demonstrated on British Railways. It weighed 40 tons and was powered by a single Rolls-Royce C8SFL engine giving 300 hp (220 kW). The design was similar to a lengthened British Rail Class 02. The locomotive was tested near Derby for four days, and following the demonstration was delivered to Llanwern steelworks, Newport.
