Class 10 (BR/Lister Blackstone 0-6-0 Diesel-Electric)

The Class 10 was a variation of the standard Class 08 diesel shunter built for British Railways that had a Lister Blackstone diesel instead of an English Electric 6KT and two GEC WT360 traction motors [1]. One hundred and forty six were built, the vast majority at BR Darlington though six were also built at BR Doncaster.

They had the same performance as the Class 08 and, apart from the traction package, were pretty identical. However, due to being non-standard they were withdrawn between 1967 and 1972. None carried their TOPS numbers. Four have survived into preservation.
