Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The British Rail Class 12 is a diesel locomotive built primarily for shunting duties around London. This was the second batch of Southern Railway shunters based on the English Electric 6KT 350 hp (260 kW) diesel engine. The first experimental batch (BR numbers 15201-15203) were designed by Richard Maunsell of the SR in 1937 and were later classified D3/12. These locomotives were Oliver Bulleid's development of Maunsell's original design, but were significantly lighter.
