Class 17
YEC Class 02
Class 25/1
During the 1950s and 1960s BR procured a wide range of Type 1 diesel locomotives, many of them under the Pilot Scheme. However, several officials felt that the single-cabbed arrangement used by the majority of Type 1s presented drivers with visibility difficulties in the 'less convenient' direction. BR therefore approached several manufacturers to seek a new locomotive that had a centre cab and low bonnets to maximise visibility. Clayton were selected to produce their proposed locomotive as the Class 17. Its low engine covers required the use of a pair of Paxman 6ZHXL six-cylinder horizontal engines, which had been intended for powering railcars; it was a somewhat unorthodox arrangement for the era.

YEC Class 02
YEC Class 02
Over 200 of the diminutive Ruston 48DS were built between 1937 and 1967, becoming immensely popular for small industrial sites who couldn't afford the expense of a steam shunting locomotive or worked with hazardous materials where such a locomotive would be unsuitable. The design was also supplied to the War Department and variations in different gauges were supplied around the world.

YEC Class 02
The British Rail Class 02 were a class of twenty 0-4-0 diesel-hydraulic shunting locomotives built by the Yorkshire Engine Company in 1960 and 1961 for service in areas of restricted loading gauge and curvature such as docks.

YEC JANUS
The Yorkshire Engine Company Janus was the Yorkshire Engine Companies most successful diesel locomotives with 102 built between 1956 and 1962. Most were built for steelworks and coal mines but a few ended up working in docks such as Liverpool and London. Around seven are preserved about ten are still extant at British Steel Scunthorpe.

YEC JANUS
The British Rail Class 121 is a single-car double-ended diesel multiple unit. 16 driving motor vehicles were built from 1960, numbered 55020–55035. These were supplemented by ten single-ended trailer vehicles, numbered 56280–56289. They have a top speed of 70 mph, with slam-doors, and vacuum brakes.
They were only withdrawn in 2017 after 57 years of service
