British Rail 18000 was a prototype mainline gas turbine-electric locomotive built for British Railways in 1949 by Brown, Boveri & Cie. An earlier gas-turbine locomotive, 18100, had been ordered from Metro-Vick by the Great Western Railway but construction was delayed due to World War II; a second, 18000, was thus ordered from Switzerland in 1946.[1] It spent its working life on the Western Region of British Railways, operating express passenger services from Paddington station, London.

The SR Q1 class is a type of austerity steam locomotive constructed during the Second World War. The class was designed by Oliver Bulleid for use on the intensive freight turns experienced during wartime on the Southern Railway network. A total of 40 locomotives were built. Bulleid incorporated many innovations and weight-saving concepts to produce a highly functional design. The class lasted in service until July 1966, and the first member of the class, number C1, has been preserved by the National Railway Museum.

Derby built DMU's.

 British Railways first build of DMUs. The sets met with huge success, starting a trend of greatly increasing passenger figures which most first generation DMUs continued.

The were used in the West Riding on Leeds - Bradford services, introduced in June 1954, and were allocated to Bradford Hammerton Street depot.

Just eight power-twin sets were built with 125hp Leyland engines and hydraulic transmission. There were over 200 more 79xxx Derby Lightweight vehicles built powered by 150hp AEC engines and mechanical transmission. The control systems also differed, when codes were introduced these sets became Red Triangle coupling code, the others Yellow Diamond. Had they survived long enough to be given class numbers the two types would have gained separate numbers, and so are treated separately here.

The different engines and control system meant these sets were non-standard and destined for early withdrawal, they were withdrawn in early 1964, just less than ten years old.

None survive.

The Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 was a class of electric locomotives built for the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), in the northeastern United States.
