| 词条 | GWR diesel shunters |
| 释义 |
The Great Western Railway purchased two diesel shunters, and ordered a further seven immediately prior to Nationalisation, which were delivered to British Rail in 1948-49. The two shunters used by the GWR were numbered 1 and 2, while a series commencing at 501 was planned for the new locomotives ordered in the 1940s. British Rail numbered 2 and the new locomotives in a series commencing at 15100. 1This locomotive was built by Fowler in 1933 and was used at Swindon works. It was an 0-4-0 diesel mechanical shunter with a {{convert|70|hp|abbr=on}} engine, {{convert|3|ft|3|abbr=on}} diameter wheels and a wheelbase of {{convert|5|ft|6|in|2|abbr=on}}. It was very similar to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway's departmental locomotive number 2, which was built a couple of years later. It was withdrawn in 1940 and sold to the Ministry of Supply.{{sfn|Whitehurst|1973|p=76}}{{sfn|Whitehurst|1973|p=78}} 2 / 15100This locomotive was built by Hawthorn Leslie in 1936 and allocated to Swindon. It was a 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter, very similar to the London Midland and Scottish Railway 7069 class (later British Rail Class D3/6), and with a close family resemblance to the Southern Railway Maunsell 350 hp DMS (SR 1 - SR3). It was renumbered 15100 by British Rail in 1948, withdrawn by them in 1965 and scrapped in early 1966.{{sfn|Whitehurst|1973|p=76}}
