The Story

"Built by: Clayton/Beyer Peacock

Number built: 117

Number series: D8500-D8616

Service Career: 1962-71 (BR), 1972-82 (industrial)

Region: Scottish, Eastern, North Eastern

Purpose: Light goods and passenger

Status in 2018: One preserved (D8568)

Class Profile: Experience with the early Type 1 diesels revealed a need for better visibility for loco crews and the result was the Clayton Type 1 with its characteristic centre cab. Unfortunately, the twin-engined design proved to be unreliable and despite 117 examples being built, the class managed less than a decade in service.
