Class 06
Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.

Thirty-five 0-4-0 diesel shunting locomotives were built by Andrew Barclay of Kilmarnock for the Scottish region of British Railways.
- The first batch of 15 locos, delivered to BR between June 1958 and April 1959, were sent to depots in the north of Scotland.
- The Second batch of locos, delivered to between November 1959 and October 1960, went to depots in the West.
- There were differences between the two batches, D2410-24 had 3 small windows at the rear of the cab, and ladder up to the fuel tank on the bonnet.
- The Second batch D2425-44, had two larger rear cab windows, and a ladder at the radiator end of the bonnet.
