    Hi All

    I have added a collection of photos taken at i think Swindon scrap line of the Class 22 or "Baby Warship" Which were a class of diesel-hydraulic locomotives designed for the Westernn Region of BR and built by North British They were very similar in appearance to the Class 21diesel-electrics.
    First pic is of the ill fated D6319 A purchase price was agreed with BR but it was accidentally cut up by staff at Swindon Works. BR offered the purchaser a Warship class locomotive at the same price and D821 Greyhound thus became the first preserved ex-BR mainline diesel locomotive.
