Information
Features

Built in Glasgow by NBL in the early 1950s, 10800 was originally ordered by the LMS as part of its pioneering investigations into main line diesel traction. It was envisaged as the equivalent of 3MT tank locomotives for lighter passenger and freight work and fitted with an 827hp Paxman diesel engine. Eventually delivered to BR in 1952 it was tested on the London Midland, Southern and (briefly) Eastern Regions. After withdrawal by BR in 1959 it was sold to Brush and used as a testbed for new traction equipment before eventually being scrapped in 1976.

- Heljan's high performance all-wheel drive chassis
- 21 -pin DCC interface
- Individually switchable headlamps and cab lights
- Authentic period detail variations
- Finely detailed ladders and wire handrails.
- Finely detailed body and bogies, all based on original NBL drawings and extensive background research.

Mid-1950s locos depict 10800 after its lengthy rebuild at Brighton Works in 1953 while late-1950s condition models have further modifications to the ventilation grilles and ladders made towards the end of the locomotive's career with BR.
