Locomotive History
Fourteen 0-6-0 diesel electric shunting engines (D2985 – D2998) were built in 1962 by Ruston and Hornsby specifically for dock yard shunting at Southampton Docks. They became class 07 however with the drastic reduction in wagon load traffic through Southampton Docks in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s the class started to become surplus. Being a small class and with the tendency to run hot when required to travel any distance the class started to be withdrawn as early as May 1973 when D2988/91/92/98 were condemned. Three further locomotives 07003/09/10 were withdrawn in October 1976 and the remaining seven were withdrawn en-block in July 1977. 07001 was originally D2985, entered traffic in June 1962 and condemned in July 1977. All bar three locomotives were sold for further use and 07001 was sold to Tilsley & Lovatt at the Newstead Trading Estate, Trentham in Stoke-on-Trent, on the 5th April 1978. The locomotive was overhauled and sold to the Staveley Lime Co. (Peakstone) at the Dove Holes quarry, Peak Dale on the 30th May 1978. In 1986 the loco was stored out of use and was sold to the Harry Needle Co. on 26th April 1989 moving to Needle's headquarters at Meadowhall, Sheffield, and later to Barrow Hill in June 1999. 07001 was Mainline registered in December 2000 and was moved to OTIS, later Creative Logistics, Salford, in March 2001 where it remained until 2009 when it returned to Barrow Hill.
