| > OO Locomotives > Diesels & Electrics Green Era | | A popular period for modelling Britains' Railways, the steam-diesel transition era allows many of the current generation highly detailed steam and diesel locomotives to be employed together. | Heljan OO BR D8202 Class 15 Diesel locomotive Green Small Yellow Panels (15051)
Model expected June 2010.
Heljans' next project is the BTH type 1, numbered in the D8200 series and later designated class 15. This model of???D8202 will be painted in BR???green livery with small???yellow warning panels.
Designed by BTH (British Thompson Houston) and built by the the Clayton and Yorkshire Engine Companies these 900bhp single cab locomotives resembled the road switcher design that had become popular in the US. This was intended to allow for easy operation and adequate visibility in either direction from one cab. In service this quickly proved the opposite, with visibility in both directions being significantly obstructed. Although more successful that some early diesel locomotive designs the Paxman engine proved unreliable in service and rationalisation or services almost eliminated work for such low powered engines. All were withdrawn by April 1972, however one example survived as a carriage heating unit and has been preserved.
