British Rail Class 22
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Rail Class 22 or "Baby Warship" was a class of diesel-hydraulic designed for the Western Region and built by North British Locomotive Company. Like most North British products, they were poor (although they were one of NBL's better diesel locomotive products) and were all withdrawn between 1967 and 1972. This was partly because of prejudices against hydraulic transmission high up in BR's engineering wings which deemed all the Western Region's diesel-hydraulic locomotives non-standard. Ex-Eastern Region Class 31 diesel-electrics were drafted in as replacements.
The Class is now extinct, but an attempt was made to preserve D6319. A purchase price was agreed with BR but before the locomotive could be moved to safety it was cut up by staff at Swindon Works. BR offered the purchaser the opportunity to purchase a Warship class locomotive at the same price and D821 Greyhound thus became the first preserved ex-BR mainline diesel locomotive.The Class 22s there allocated to Bristol Bath Road,Laira Plymouth,Newton Abbott and Old Oak Common.
