Derby Works
Prototype BR mixed-traffic diesel-electric locomotive no 10800 in a siding at Derby Works on 27 August 1960. NBL built 10800 was ordered by the LMS in 1946 but did not appear until 1950 following nationalisation. Intended as a replacement for steam on secondary branch lines (pre-Beeching) orders for a total of 54 similar locomotives were placed in 1955 (eventually becoming the short-lived BR classes 15 and 16).
