    The British Rail Class 03 Diesel Locomotive was, together with the similar Class 04, one of British Railways most successful 0-6-0 diesel mechanical shunters. 230 were built at Doncaster and Swindon works between 1957 and 1962, and were numbered D2000-D2199 and D2370-D2399 (later 03004 to 03399). D2370 and D2371 were used as departmental locomotives and originally numbered 91 and 92 respectively.
    These shunters would make superb dlc for Isle of Wight route.

    03079 (top) and 03179 (above) on the Island Line.

    The British Rail Class 05 is a class of 0-6-0 diesel mechanical shunters built by Hunslet Engine Company from 1955 to 1961. They were used on the Eastern and Scottish Regions of British Railways. The first two batches were delivered as 11136-11143 (later renumbered D2550-D2557) and 11161-11176 (later renumbered D2558-D2573). Subsequent locomotives were delivered, new, as D2574-D2618.
    This class of locomotive would be fantastic as dlc for Isle of Wight as one lone member was stationed there prior to the Class 03s.
