1957 Railway Magazine Class 20 Article

South Devon Diesel Traction, SDDT

I have included this article from The Railway Magazine dated August 1957 on the site. It describes the purpose of building these locos, then known as "type A." I found it fascinating, a snapshot of the times they were built in, especially the Vulcan foundry works picture.

Many Thanks to the staff of Railway Magazine for allowing us to reproduce it.
