The CLASS 16 locomotive was ordered under the Modernisation Scheme as a Type 1 locomotive for the Eastern Region; based on prototype No. 10800. This class was troubled by poor reliability and was scrapped relatively early. The engine was a Paxman 16YHXL with 7 in (178 mm) cylinder bore and 7.75 in (197 mm) cylinder stroke. The traction motors were 4 x GEC WT 441, nose suspended with single reduction gear drive. The Main Generator was a GEC WT 881and the Auxiliary Generator was also of GEC manufacture.
