British Rail Class 28 (or Metro-Vick Type 2) were a class of diesel-electric locomotives built under the diesel loco Pilot Scheme as part of the British Railways Modernisation Plan. Often referred to as &#8216;Co-Bos&#8217;, &#8216;Metrovicks&#8217; or &#8216;Crossleys&#8217;, the class featured a highly unusual Co-Bo wheel arrangement (a 6-wheel bogie at one end, and a 4-wheel bogie at the other). Unlike other Type 2 diesels, the class were fitted with two-stroke Crossley diesel units and had a very high tractive effort of 50,000 lbf. The engines suffered frequent failures and by 1961 the entire class was handed back to the manufacturer for remedial work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle_image--container imageLeft underText imageLeft\">\n<div class=\"bggle_image-source\">Image via David Mylett<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bggle--block bggle_text margin_vertical--small     margin-top_none \">\n<p>They were known for being excessively noisy and emmitted too much smoke. All twenty Metrovicks were initially allocated to the Midland Division of BR&#8217;s London Midland Region, where they were often used in pairs on the overnight London\u2013Glasgow &#8220;Condor&#8221; express freight service. After the 1961 refurbishment they were all transferred to the Barrow-in-Furness 12E depot. They were withdrawn after only eleven years in service. A single example has been preserved at the East Lancashire Railway.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/British_Rail_Class_28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Information provided via Wikipedia)<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Heljan Co-Bo is back!
