Description: Experimental LMR Diesel-Mechanical 4-8-4 at Derby. View eastward from Derby Station towards the Locomotive Works. LMS/Fell 2-D-2 Diesel-Mechanical No. 10100 was designed as a prototype 2,000hp locomotive and built in 1950, but only began trials in 1/51. In 1/52 it began scheduled work on passenger trains between Derby and Manchester Central by the Peak Line: it continued, with some prolonged interruptions, on this line until it broke down in 10/58 and was withdrawn, but it was not scrapped until 7/60. Although a comparative success, the design was not perpetuated. Here in 1957 No. 10100 is outside Derby Locomotive Depot - and over to the left is a very much older but very useful Midland 3F 0-6-0 steam locomotive.
