The Class 14 is a 0-6-0 Diesel Hydraulic. 56 of these class 14s were built at Swindon by British Rail in 1964 and 1965. They have a Paxman Venture 6Y JX engine. After only four years of service on BR, most were sold on to NCB and to British Steel British Steel at Corby which is about 17 miles from the NVR. British Steel's main steel works were closed at Corby, between 1979 and 1981 with over 5000 jobs lost. With the coal mines also closing, these class 14 were then not needed.
