The British Rail Class 10 railway locomotive was a variation on the Class 08 diesel-electric shunter in which a Blackstone engine was fitted instead of an English Electric engine. 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.
