The locomotive’s number was derived from its works number, DEL260. SpecificationIt was of Co-Co wheel arrangement and was fitted with a Sulzer 12LDA28C engine of {{convert|2750|hp}}. It had a maximum speed of {{convert|100|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} and weighed {{convert|114|LT|t ST|sigfig=3}}. It was painted white with five gold stripes along the bottom half of its bodyside. TestingBR tested it initially on Western Region services out of London Paddington based at Wolverhampton Stafford Road Shed. Later it moved to Finsbury Park on the Eastern Region for services London King's Cross. However, BR decided to purchase its new Type 4 fleet from Brush Traction (the Class 47) and so D0260 was withdrawn in February 1964. DisposalFull details of LION's final withdrawal have never been fully made public, and even the BRC&W workforce were not informed of its fate. But at some time after withdrawal, LION was moved to AEI's works at Attercliffe where AEI became responsible for stripping the locomotive, primarily to recover their electrical components. During this process Sulzer recovered their 12LDA28C power unit and radiators (the engine was sent to be reconditioned at Vickers in Barrow-in-Furness, and was subsequently installed into an unknown production Class 47). What remained, principally the body shell and bogies, were scrapped at the Attercliffe yard of scrap merchant Thos W Ward. The date on which Ward finally cut up the remains is unclear. One report puts it as late as 1965.
