Originally designed in the early 50s trials were carried out on the West Coast Main Line and the
Settle And Carlisle line. The LMR’s general manager rejected it’s use and it was transferred to the
East Coast Main line. After testing there along with a second Prototype (DP2) an order was placed
for 22 production locos to replace 55 stea\m locos.
