Made in Sheffield.

Affectionately known as the “Teddy Bear”, The loco was powered by a 650hp Paxman Ventura engine and equipped with a Voith hydraulic transmission, the Class 14 combines reliability with a uniquely British aesthetic. Its central cab layout provides excellent visibility, making it ideal for both industrial work and heritage operations.

Though their mainline career was short-lived — all withdrawn by 1970 — the Class 14 found a second life in industry. These locomotives served for decades in collieries, steelworks, and private sidings, earning a reputation for robustness and ease of use.

Today, over 20 examples are preserved across the UK. Some even taking on modern roles, including engineering duties on High Speed 1 (HS1).
