British Rail operated a large number of different diesel locomotive types. The majority of these were built between 1955 and 1968. The majority of these were built between 1955 and 1968. Many classes were rushed into service as part of the 1955 Modernisation Plan , but poor reliability and a rapid decline in rail transport meant that some would ...

The British Rail Class 23 were a class of ten Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotives built by the English Electric Company (EE) in 1959. The power unit used was a Napier Deltic T9-29 9-cylinder engine of 1,100 bhp (820 kW) driving an EE generator, which powered the four traction motors.
These locomotives worked on British Railways as demonstrators but remained in the ownership of the manufacturers: [1] NBL/Paxman 0-4-0 diesel-hydraulic. Tiger - preserved at Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway; Tom - preserved at Telford Steam Railway; English Electric. British Railways D0226 - preserved at Keighley and Worth Valley Railway
A single locomotive, D5705, survived by historical accident, being renumbered S15705 and used from December 1968 by the Research Division for its Tribology Test train. [11] It was superseded by a Class 24 , and was used as carriage heating unit TDB968006 (based at Bath Road Depot, Bristol) before being preserved in 1985.
The locomotives ordered were intended to match older types in terms of haulage capacity whilst at the same time being more fuel-efficient. The project was a collaborative effort between Freightliner and GE, with input from drivers on the cab design. [1] [2] The locomotives utilize a GE PowerHaul P616 diesel engine rated at 2,750 kW (3,690 hp). [3]
