Some Additional Information

In `A Pictorial History of the Diesel Shunter' C. Marsden, OPC, 1981 has a section on these locos (plate 2 & pls. 85-87). They were allocated to Birkenhead shed. The back plate of the cab had a structure like a steam tank engine's coal bunker (the fuel tank?). At least one, D2506, had chevron-shaped wasp-stripes on the back plate ofthe cab. As all are said to have been scrappe, is the recent-looking photo in the article of a similar loco built for an industrial customer? Barney Bruchstein (talk) 21:34, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
