Diesel Locomotives

12099 is the SVR’s only 0-6-0 Class 11 350hp diesel electric shunting locomotive. 120 of these locomotives were built by the LMS and BR between 1945 and 1952.

12099 in main line service[edit | edit source]

12099 was built at BR’s Derby Works and entered service in March 1952 at Nottingham. The locomotive retained the number 12099 throughout its working life with BR service, during which it also saw service at Willesden, Springs Branch (Wigan), Crewe South, Nuneaton, Rugby and Bletchley. BR service ended with withdrawal in July 1971.[1]

12099 was subsequently used Murphy Brothers (NCB Contractors) at Blaenavon in Gwent and by Taylor Woodrow Construction in Mid-Glamorgan. A further move to the National Coal Board at Astley, West Yorkshire followed in 1984, before the locomotive was sold to dealers CF Booth in 1989.

12099 in preservation[edit | edit source]

12099 arrived on the SVR in March 1990, having been acquired from Booths by The Kidderminster Shunter Fund in exchange for surplus Ruston and Hornsby 165hp Diesel Shunter 418789 Archibald. The Fund in January 2018 transferred ownership to Severn Valley Railway Charitable Trust Ltd.[2]

Some of the first Class 11s were built for the War Department, and in June 2013 No 12099 made an appearance in the 1940s event carrying a rather unconvincing War Department number “WD 40”.
