Class 03 0-6-0 diesel mechanical shunter D2199 stands in the yard at Rowsley, Peak Rail, 7th September 2009. D2199 was built at Swindon works in 1961 and was built for light duties where a larger locomotive was not needed or was not allowed, especially for shunting at locomotive and carriage depots, docks and as station pilots. D2199 would be associated with dock duties being allocated through out its British Railways career to MPD’s adjacent to ports, initially Liverpool (Speake Junction MPD), transferring to Birkenhead MPD on its closure in 1966 and finally transferring to Barrow in Furness MPD. The steady reduction during the 1960’s in the demand for small shunting locomotives and the decline in traditional dock traffic meant that these duties progressively disappeared and class 03 withdrawals commenced from 1968 onwards. D2199 was withdrawn from Barrow in June 1972 prior to the 1973 TOPS re-numbering scheme, however it was eventually sold to the National Coal Board in 1974 following an overhaul and air brake fitment at Doncaster works. It then worked at Rockingham, North Gawber and Royston collieries until being placed into store at Monkton in 1984. It was sold in 1987 to the Heritage Shunter Trust and was on loan to Hanson Aggregates, Machen Quarry near Newport from 2003 until it arrived at Peak Rail in May 2006.
