Class 02 Diesel LokSound V5 Sound Decoder
Starting in 1960, British Railways (BR) acquired a small batch of twenty Class 02 two-axle shunting locomotives for use in yards with tight curves. Although perfectly suited to their operational environment—thanks to a short wheelbase, a 170 hp Rolls-Royce 6-cylinder diesel engine, and hydraulic transmission—the first of these locomotives (capable of speeds up to 30 km/h) were withdrawn after less than ten years of service, and the last after just fifteen, as their operational roles in docks, depots, and industrial areas disappeared. BR managed to sell eleven of these relatively new locomotives—more than half the total fleet—to private operators, which is why seven examples survive to this day.
