D0226 and D0227 were two prototype diesel shunting locomotives built in 1956 by English Electric at its Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows to demonstrate its wares to British Railways. They originally carried numbers D226 and D227 their Vulcan Foundry works numbers but these were amended in August 1959 to avoid clashing with the numbers of new Class 40 locomotives.They were both of 0-6-0 wheel arrangement and were fitted with English Electric 6RKT engines of 500 hp.
