| This batch of 0-4-0 diesel hydraulic locos built by North British were a more refined version of their small shunter design and saw a much larger fleet ordered. The bodywork was much improved on earlier like offerings. Power and drive was also much improved with a licence arrangement set up to use German MAN power units and Voith transmission. No. D2711 shows a loco from its nose end, body side hinged doors provided technical access, while the cab had much improved visibility. Vacuum train brakes were also fitted. CJM Collection. |

| No. D2754 painted in standard BR green livery with wasp ends and British Railways lion holding wheel logo shows the cab end detail, the good size rear windows were a great asset during shunting. Some minor design differences were incorporated during the assembly of this fleet. N Nesbitt. |
