D9500, BR Class 14

Notable history

The first Class 14 built, outshopped from Swindon in June 1964. The class was ordered for short-haul freight and trip work that had largely disappeared by the time the engines were delivered, which is why they were withdrawn young and so many found industrial buyers.
