Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox Locomotive British Rail Class D2/12 was a class of ten locomotives commissioned by British Railways in England. They were diesel powered locomotives in the pre-TOPS period built by Hudswell Clarke with a Gardner engine. The mechanical transmission, using a scoop control fluid coupling and four-speed Power-flow SSS (synchro-self-shifting) gearbox,[1] was a Hudswell Clarke speciality.

The D2/12 was mechanically similar to the earlier British Rail Class D2/7 but was of more modern appearance. The engine casing was lower, giving much better all-round visibility.

After British Rail

D2519 was employed at NCB Hatfield Main, Doncaster, South Yorkshire[2] as a shunter. It was located there until at least 1984.

D2511 is preserved at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.[3]
