D0260 "Lion"

---

Built in 1962, prototype D0260 Lion used the same 12LDA28-C engine as the Class 47 fleet.

When D0260 went for scrap in 1964/65, its 12LDA28-C engine was removed and sent to Vickers in Barrow-in-Furness for reconditioning and then it was fitted into an unknown production class 47.

Here are some of its know workings.
