Also known as the BRCW3 type, it was a batch of diesel-electric locomotives purchased by British Railways in 1957, mainly serving the southern region. Both passenger and cargo, equipped with a 1550-horsepower Sulzer engine with a maximum speed of 85 mph. Because its electrical equipment is produced by the Cromton Parkinson Company, it is also known as the "Cromton Train". The first batch of 65 locomotives was put into use in December 1959 and completed production in 1961. The second batch was completed in 1962, totaling 98 locomotives. Most of the passenger and freight missions to Dover were undertaken in the South East and also for the South West.
