Great Central Railway diesels

What looks like a class 20. This was a past visit

to the Great central Railway at Loughborough

 

 

 

The British Rail (BR) Class 20, otherwise known as an English Electric Type 1, is a class of diesel-electric locomotive. In total, 228 locomotives in the class were built by English Electric between 1957 and 1968, the large number being in part because of the failure of other early designs in the same power range to provide reliable locomotives.
The locomotives were originally numbered D8000–D8199 and D8300–D8327. They are known by railway enthusiasts as "Choppers", a name derived from the distinctive beat that the engine produced when under load which resembles the sound of a helicopter.

 

The Class 45s, as they were to become known, were built between 1960 and 1962 at the British Railways works at Crewe and Derby and totalled 126 engines. They were externally similar to the earlier ten Class 44s but with a Sulzer 12 cylinder 12LDA28B engine uprated to 2500 hp. They were intended for express passenger work. The Class 44s were named after English and Welsh peaks and they, and the Class 45s, became known as “Peaks”. In fact a small number of Class 45s were named after British Army Regiments using names formally carried by the LMS Royal Scot steam locomotives.

Is it a Sulzer Brush diesel behind 123, tell me what you think

 

There's always a DMU somewhere

 

Many thanks to the Great Central Railway and
