The Detroit Diesel Series 110 is a two-stroke diesel engine series, available in straight-6 cylinder configuration (in keeping with the standard Detroit Diesel practice at the time, engines were referred to using a concatenation of the number of cylinders and the displacement, so this was a model 6-110).

Wheels coupled to the main/side rods, through which the power developed in the cylinders (24) is transformed into tractive power at the rails. [1] [2] [5] [3]: 28 The weight of bearings and coupling rods on the driving wheels is counterbalanced with cast-in weights to reduce "hammering" on the track when the locomotive is under way. [3]: 21
The last of the main series of 867 locomotives for DR was built in 1978 (numbers 110 001-171 and 110 201-896). Subsequent deliveries to DR included 11 class 110.9 locomotives for departmental (i.e. non-revenue) use, which were equipped to provide power to track maintenance machinery and snow blowers.
The fact that they were primarily intended for services on the arduous Calder Valley route meant that Class 110 needed more power than other first generation DMUs, so they were fitted with 180 hp (130 kW) Rolls-Royce C6NFLH engines, and when delivered they had the highest hp/ton of any of the first generation DMUs, including the lightweights.
