| In
1958/59 Brush together with Beyer-Peacock produced five demonstrator
0-4-0 diesel-electric shunting locos, with the view of winning orders
from BR and the industrial sector. In the main the five locos spent
most of their time at Loughborough with various trips to industrial
sites. One loco was eventually sold to BR and numbered D2999. This loco
was used from Stratford for a few years and eventually under the National
Traction rationalisation plan was withdrawn. No. D2999 painted in BR
green with wasp ends is seen at Stratford. CJM. |
