09107 is an 0-6-0 Class 09 350hp diesel electric shunting locomotive. The Class 09 is similar to the Class 08, of which the SVR has a number of examples, but having different gearing giving an increased top speed of 27.5 mph at the expense of a lower tractive effort.  Unlike [[BR Class 09 D4100|D4100]] which was built as a Class 09, 09107 was one of a batch classified as Class 09/1 to distinguish them as rebuilt from Class 08s.
