Class 22 D6300
British Railways Type 2 'Baby Warship' B-B diesel hydraulic locomotive (British Rail Class 22) D6300 outside Swindon Works in Wiltshire (UK) on October 4th 1960.
D6300 was built for British Railways by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) at Glasgow in January 1959 and prematurely withdrawn from service on May 26th 1968 as a non standard BR diesel hydraulic design.
D6300 was declared 'cut up' at Cashmores Yard at Newport Wales by December 1968.
All 58 North British Locomotive Company Class 22 locomotives built were scrapped.
The North British Locomotive Company didn't fare much better than their locomotives either and the business was declared bankrupt by 1962.
These Type 2 Class 22 locomotives should not be confused with the similar looking Class 21, Class 20/2 or Class 41 'Warship' diesel hydraulic locomotives.
