Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox locomotive British Rail Class D2/7 was a locomotive commissioned by British Rail in England. It was a diesel powered locomotive in the pre-TOPS period built by Hudswell Clarke with a Gardner engine. The mechanical transmission, using a scoop control fluid coupling and three-speed Power-flow SSS (synchro-self-shifting) gearbox,[1] was a Hudswell Clarke speciality.

Appearance

The D2/7 was of old-fashioned appearance with a full-height engine casing and a small, steam locomotive-type chimney. The later British Rail Class D2/12, although mechanically similar, was of more modern appearance.

Preservation

One locomotive was originally preserved after withdrawal but was then scrapped in C F Booths, Rotherham in 2005.

Modelling

A kit is available from Invertrain [2] in 7 mm Scale (O Gauge)

Mercian Models [3] make kits for this locomotive and the very similar industrial version, in both 4 mm and 7 mm scale.
