From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Class D3/6 were diesel shunters built in 1935 by English Electric for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. They were the first of a new design of diesel shunters based on the English Electric 6K 350 hp (260 kW) diesel. Eleven locomotives were built, numbered 7069-7079 by the LMS. Three of these later became British Rail numbers 12000-12002 (previously 7074/76/79 respectively). The remainder were shipped abroad during WW2. Of these, first built no. 7069, survived the war and was used in industrial service in France. It was later repatriated for preservation and is now based at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.
