GWR Diesel Shunters - 1

1

This locomotive was built by Fowler in 1933 and was used at Swindon works. It was an 0-4-0 diesel mechanical shunter with a 70 hp engine, 3 ft diameter wheels and a wheelbase of 5 ft 6 in. 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 It was withdrawn in 1940 and sold to the Ministry of Supply.
