BR class 23 diesel loco (Baby Deltic)

 

Dummy bogie side frames

 

class of ten Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotives built by the English Electric Company (EE) in 1959.

After numerous problems and attempts to fix them, it was decided by BR and EE to refurbish the class and modify the engines with new parts designed by the engine manufacturer. The locos also had modifications to their nose ends, losing the gangway doors and headcode discs in favour of a central roller blind headcode box.

The modificatons were succesful, but only lasted till 1971.

 

 None have been preserved.
