They were a direct replacement for the legendary Lancashire \u0026amp; Yorkshire Railway ‘Pug’ 0-4-0STs working dock lines in Liverpool, Manchester and beyond. Around 50 similar locomotives were built for industrial railways, in many cases with electric rather than hydraulic transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAs the work they were built for vanished in the 1960s, many of the 20-strong class found further work in industry, with some surviving well into the 1980s before being rescued for preservation. Highly regarded by crews for their Rolls-Royce engine, all-round visibility and unique (for a BR locomotive) rear platform for shunting staff, they continue to play a useful role in shunting and engineering work at heritage railways. One locomotive, D2860, was even claimed by the National Railway Museum as the perfect shunter for its Great Hall in York.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eLOCOMOTIVE FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e  \u003cul class=\"\" gm-list\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSprung Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eExterior Detail\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInterior Detail\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBeautifully Painted Body\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCast Profiled Wheels with Appropriate Colouring\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAll Wheel Pick-ups\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heljan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57117440344444,"sku":"GM4240401","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/WEB_20250410_20HELJAN_20GAUGEMASTER_20GW4240401_2.jpg?v=1786092606","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/gm4240401-wsl-heljan-class-02-0-4-0dh-diesel-redland-khaki","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
