British Railways’ (BR) Type 4 Warship class diesel-hydraulic locomotives were introduced in 1958. It was apparent at that time that the largest center of expertise on diesel-hydraulic locomotives was in Germany.
The Western Region of British Railways negotiated a licence with German manufacturers to scale down the German Federal Railway’s “V200” design to suit the smaller loading gauge of the British network, and to allow British manufacturers to construct the new design. The resultant design bears a close resemblance both cosmetically and in the engineering employed.
