The BritishRailClass 10 railway locomotive was a variation on the Class08 diesel-electric shunter in which the English Electric engine was replaced by a Blackstone engine and traction motors were either GEC or BTH.
Class 10, no. D3452, at Bodmin on 28 August 2003.
This locomotive is preserved on the Bodmin and Wenford Railway.
The HST was the staple rolling stock on the East Coast Main Line from the retirement of the renowned Deltic locomotives in 1980-82 to the introduction of the Intercity 225 following electrification in 1990.
Several HST power cars were fitted with buffers at the nose ends to assist with the changeover to the 225, enabling them to tow the newer trains during testing and in non-electrified areas.
The class are officially the fastest diesels in the world with an absolute maximum of 148mph, and 125mph regular service speed.
