British Rail 10800

http://dbpedia.org/resource/British_Rail_10800 an entity of type: Thing

British Railways 10800 was a diesel locomotive built by the North British Locomotive Company for British Railways in 1950. It had been ordered by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1946 but did not appear until after the 1948 nationalisation of the railways. The locomotive was designed by George Ivatt as a possible replacement for steam locomotives on secondary and branch lines. The single-cab layout (long bonnet forward) gave the driver a poor view of the road ahead. The view was no worse than a steam locomotive's, so it would have been considered acceptable at the time. rdf:langString

During its brief time on the Southern Region between 1952 and 1954, 10800 gained the nickname 'The Wonder Engine', from the locomotive department's daily query, 'I wonder if it will go today'.

Ela foi encomendada pela London, Midland and Scottish Railway em 1946 mas não apareceu até antes da nacionalização das ferrovias de 1948. Designada por como uma possível substituta das locomotivas a vapor utilizadas na época em serviços secundários e em ramais. O layout de cabine simples com o motor à frente como nas locomotivas a vapor davam ao condutor uma visão pobre da linha a sua frente. Esta visão não era diferente das locomotivas a vapor e por isso não causou grande impacto na época. Durante o seu serviço na região sudeste a 10800 ganhou o apelido de The Wonder Engine, do departamento do diário ferroviário.
