The British Rail Class 10 railway locomotive was a variation on the Class 08 diesel-electric shunter in which the English Electric engine was replaced by a Blackstone engine and traction motors were either GEC or BTH. The locomotives were built at the BR Works in Darlington and Doncaster over the period 1953-62.
The engine is a Blackstone 6-cyl., 4-stroke, ER6T. Traction motors are either 2 x BTH [D3152-D3166] motors or 2 x GEC nose suspended motors.
