Preserved British Railways 0-6-0 'Gronk' Shunter 12099 (British Rail Class 11) tucked up away in a corner at Bridgnorth Yard on the Severn Valley Railway in Shropshire (UK).
12099 was built at Derby Works in 1952 and withdrawn early from service on July 17th 1971.
The 08 (09/10/11) shunter 0-6-0 design was based on the LMS Class D3/7 shunter of 1939 and LMS 12033 shunter series for the war department in early 1945 so it's safe to assume the basic body design you see here dates from the late 1930s.

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 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.
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 arrived on the SVR in March 1990, having been acquired from Booths by The Kidderminster Shunter Fund in exchange for a surplus Ruston diesel shunter

Class 11, number 12082 having made a short journey outside the gates at the South Yorkshire Railway, Meadowhall 8th of February 1992, we so wanted to take her for a run down the line, but the owner of the former GCR Meadowhall Station building visable in the distance would have reported us within minutes. Lets say he wasn`t very keen on the idea of trains running past his house once more. Well he got his wish, he now has a cycle path :(
The British Rail Class 11 was applied to a batch of diesel shunting locomotives built from April 1945 to December 1952, based on a similar earlier batch built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) between 1939 and 1942.
The fourteen locomotives were built for the War Department, with the first ten subsequently going the Nederlandse Spoorwegen as NS 501–510. LMS numbers 7120–7129 went straight into LMS stock, with 7129 being the last diesel shunter to be built for the LMS. British Railways continued to build the class from 1948 to 1952, using numbers M7130–M7131 and 12045–12138. 7120–7129 and M7130–M7131 became BR numbers 12033–12044. The whole class of 12033–12138 became Class 11. Locomotives up to 12102 were built at LMS/BR Derby and 12103–12138 at BR Darlington.
Close to 100 almost identical machines were built by English Electric and supplied to Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) as their 500 Class & 600 Class diesel locomotives. Sixty-five of the 600 Class locomotives were built by English Electric between 1950 and 1957, numbered 601–665, at either Dick, Kerr & Co. Works (601–610) in Preston or Vulcan Foundry Works (remainder) in Newton-le-Willows.
Another export order was to Australia, with 16 locomotives built for use on 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) broad gauge in 1951. Victorian Railways bought ten as the F class, while six were bought by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria.
The diesel engine is an English Electric 6-cylinder, 10-inch bore by 12-inch stroke (254 mm by 305 mm); 4-stroke, 6KT and the traction motors are two: EE506 axle-hung, nose-suspended, force-ventilated traction motors with 21.7:1 double reduction gear drive. The main generator is an English Electric EE801, 441 A at 430 V.
The following locomotives are, or were, at Harry Needle Railroad Company (HNRC):
12074 Scrapped
12088 Operational
12098 Scrapped
The following Class 11 diesel shunters are preserved:
12052 at Caledonian Heritage Railway
12061 by Heritage Shunters Trust at Peak Rail
12077 at Midland Heritage Railway
12083 at Battlefield Line Railway
12093 at Caledonian Heritage Railway
12099 at Severn Valley Railway
12131 at North Norfolk Railway
12139 at North Yorkshire Moors Railway
A ninth example 12049 (renumbered from 12082) is preserved at the Watercress Line in Hampshire. At one time it was re-registered as 01553, in TOPS Class 01/5, carried both numbers and was owned by the Harry Needle Railroad Company. 12082 was renumbered to 12049 in October 2010 and painted in BR green with a late crest but without the yellow/black ends. This was as a replacement for the original Mid Hants locomotive 12049 that was scrapped after suffering catastrophic damage during an engine shed fire on 26 July 2010.
This picture was taken on the Caledonian Railway which runs from Brechin to Bridge of Dun. This picture is of one the railways two class 11 shunters, this one is operational and numbered 12093.

State Electricity Commission of Victoria 5'3" gauge 350 hp 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter No.SEC2 (built 1952, withdrawn by VR 1986 as No.F216) at the Victoria Railway Museum, North Williamstown, 2 April 2016. Essentially the same as the BR Class 11 and the NS Class 600, 10 of these were built by English Electric's Dick Kerr Works, Preston for Victorian Railways followed by 6 more for the SEC of Victoria which used 2 at the Newport Power Station and 4 at the Latrobe Valley Coal Field Yards. In 1956-71, the SEC engines were sold to VR. They were withdrawn in 1979-87.

This is fake news. It isn't a real ex BR loco but 1948 English Electric (Dick Kerr Preston works) EE1553 built for industrial service and formerly used by ICI on Teesside and painted to resemble a BR class 11. Prior to coming here it was at the Mid Hants Railway.

The original 12049 was damaged beyond repair by fire in 2010 and so 12082 was acquired from Barrow Hill to replace it. It has has been repainted in the guise of 12049

Class 17 'Clayton' No. D8568, and Class 11 No. 12099 are seen at the rear of Kidderminster Diesel Depot, on May 17th 2025.
D8568 was built by Clayton, entering service in January 1964. The Class 17s were singularly unreliable, to say the least!
Her allocation history is as follows:-
Haymarket 06/01/1964
Polmadie 09/1968
Withdrawn 06/10/1971
Stored at Polmadie shed 10/71-12/71 and then to the disused shed at Ardrossan from 12/71-1/72. It was then moved back to Polmadie 1/72-9/72. Sold for industrial use to
Hemelite Ltd. (Hemel Hempstead Lightweight Concrete Company) of Harpenden, it arrived at their premises on 11/9/72, under its own power. Sold to Ribblesdale Cement Company, Clitheroe,
Lancashire for further industrial use, and moved from Harpenden to Cricklewood for attention on 16/6/77 and departed that location on 20/6/77, with arrival at its new
premises via freight trains on 24/6/77.
Sold to the Diesel Traction Group in 12/82 to go to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for preservation. It moved from Clitheroe to Pickering, NYMR between 9 - 11/2/83. Left
NYMR on 23/6/91 en-route to Chinnor and visited many other preservation sites over the intervening months to appear as a guest loco at gala days, including Gloucester open
day in 8/91 and then to Old Oak Common, then onto the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway. Its home base remains at Chinnor but loans to other railways continue,
including long periods at the Severn Valley Railway; while there between 2020 and 2022 it was overhauled including being repainted in BR small logo blue livery by August 2021.
12099 was built at Derby Works, entering service in March 1952.
Her allocation history is as follows:-
Nottingham 01/03/1952
Willesden 07/1957
Springs Branch 09/1958
Crewe South 01/1961
Nuneaton 06/1961
Rugby 05/1962
Rugby 09/1963
Bletchley 01/1969
Withdrawn 17/07/1971
It was stored at Bletchley, but a possible sale to the NCB saw it kept in running order and on 23/1/72 it was noted shunting at Bletchley, despite its condemnation, but in part
may have been due to the sale to the NCB and moved to NCB Opencast Executive, Lion Disposal Point, Blaenavon, Monmouthshire (operated by Murphy Bros).
On 23/10/75 it was moved to NCB (OE) Cwmbargoed Disposal Point (operated by Taylor Woodrow Construction Ltd.), followed by a move to NCB (OE) British Oak Disposal
Point, Crigglestone, Wakefield, West Yorkshire (operated by Hargreaves (West Riding) Ltd.) in 8/81 and, on 12/2/83, was moved to its final working location, NCB (OE) Bowers
Row Disposal Point, Astley, West Yorks. (also operated by Hargreaves)
It remained on site until the NCB sold it to Booth Roe Metals, Rotherham in 2/89 for scrap and was moved to Booth's yard on 26/2/89 but was not broken up and was resold to
the Severn Valley Railway, moved there by road on 26/3/90.
I hope you enjoy looking through my Flickr images. Please consider helping me pay for my Flickr subscription, and to replace my scanner with something that'll produce better images from the past.
I'd like to rescan all of my older uploads in the fullness of time.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
This used to be a very common sight, yellow and burgundy liveried NMBS/SNCB Class 11 locos pushing or pulling NS coaching stock on international services from Brussels to Amsterdam. However, in the past the Dutch coaching stock was painted in matching livery, as were the DVTs. A few years ago the rolling stock was re-painted into this white red and pink livery, as were most of the DVTs. The locos have also been replaced by NMBS/SNCB Class 28s (or their NS equivalents). Here we see Class 11 number 1181 working a so-called 'Amsterdammer' service from Amsterdam to Brussels, and the DVT which you can just see at the end is also in the old livery.
Class 11 shunter 12049 - only it isn't.The original 12049 was damaged by fire in 2010,so this is sister loco 12082 in disguise.Withdrawn in October 1971 (both 12049 and 12082),the loco is seen here at Ropley shed,on the Mid-Hants Railway.
