Product Description

"Built by: Clayton/Beyer Peacock

Number built: 117

Number series: D8500-D8616

Region: Scottish, Eastern, North Eastern

Purpose: Light goods and passenger

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.
