British Rail Class D2/10 was a locomotive type commissioned by British Rail. It was a diesel-hydraulic shunting locomotive in the pre-TOPS period built by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL). The NBL/MAN engines were built by the North British Locomotive Company in Scotland under licence from the German company MAN. They were introduced in 1957 and numbered D2708-D2780.[1]
After service with British Railways, D2767 was sold and in 1982 it was owned by Burmah Oil Trading Ltd., at Burmah Refinery in Stanlow.[2] D2773 was sold to the National Coal Board, with it working in the South Wales Area at Cleynen South Colliery.
