since the fi nal Class 52 Westerns were
withdrawn from service, a class that was
responsible for an upturn in the fortunes
of diesel preservation that has since saved
hundreds of locos from the scrapman.
In this 100-page special magazine from the
team behind Railways Illustrated magazine
we chart the inspiration, development and
careers of some of British Railways’ most
enigmatic locomotives and investigate the
fascinating subject of industrial hydraulics.D800 Warships
The fi rst of the diesel hydraulic Type 4s to be
produced were the Warships, built by BR at
Swindon and also North British in Glasgow.
Weighing just 78 tons, they were a powerful
lightweight loco with an impressive performance.
The Western
The ultimate incarnation of the diesel hydraulic
concept in the UK was the Class 52 D1000
Western. The charismatic design was immensely
popular, powerful and highly capable.
The Hymeks
The most numerous of the Western Region’s
diesel hydraulics were the Type 3 Hymeks. Able
to handle almost any train, they proved to be an
excellent mixed traffi c design.
