This class was used as the basis for the development of the Class 27 locomotives - although, ironically, they outlasted them in service.

Origins
In the 1950's the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (BRCW), in association with the Swiss diesel engine manufacturers Sulzer Brothers, entered the competition to provide British Railways (BR) with modern diesel locomotives. In 1951 Sulzer had provided the power units for 2 locomotives for CIE which had been built at Inchicore works. A follow-on order was placed, but due to capacity problems at Inchicore manufacture was undertaken by BRCW. BRCW had, as the name implies, no history of locomotive manufacture, but were making Diesel Multiple Units for BR, and as a result of the Irish contract a partnership between Sulzer and BRCW was set up. The Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (BRC&W) was a railway locomotive and carriage builder, founded in Birmingham, England and, for most of its existence, located at nearby Smethwick, with the factory divided by the boundary between the two places. ...

The BR Pilot Scheme contained a large requirement for locomotives in the 800hp - 1250hp range and the Sulzer LDA28 range, along with the equivalent English Electric design, was particularly suited. The smaller 6LDA28 variant was used in Type 2 locomotives from both BRs Derby works (later Class 24) and BRCW. However the good intentions of the original Pilot Scheme were soon left in a flurry of orders and a follow-on order was placed with BRCW for a further batch of 69 locos. As a new uprated variant, the 6LAD28-B was available from Sulzer, this was fitted in what became the Class 27.
