Locomotive History
In 1945 the London Midland and Scottish Railway began building at Derby Works a batch of diesel electric 0-6-0 shunting engines. By the formation of British Railways on the 1st January 1948 fifteen had been completed and construction was continued by British Railways until 1952 when one hundred and six had been built. They were numbered 12033 – 12138 and were the forerunner of the class 08 design. They were later classified as class 11 and they remained in service until the late 1960’s/early 1970’s. 12077 was built at Derby in 1950 and was delivered new to Saltley MPD. It would spend part of its career at Chester until eventually withdrawn from Wigan Springs Branch in October 1971. Following withdrawal it was sold for industrial use until purchased for preservation in 1978 and moved to the Midland Railway Centre.
