North
British D2745-D2780 0-4-0DH Built by the North British Locomotive Company over a period from 1957 to 1961, these 0-4-0 diesel-hydraulic locomotives were powered by MAN engines with Voith transmissions. There were a few varieties within the batch and kits offered by Judith Edge Kits cover these differences. The third batch D2745-D2780 (they carried these numbers from introduction) had larger 3ft. 9in diameter wheels and a larger fuel tank. The class had been withdrawn by 1968 and did not receive a TOPS classification. Two of this batch have survived into preservation. Judith Edge Kits offer an etched brass kit of this variant and it is this kit I have used for my model.
