D2370 and D2371 were used as departmental locomotives and originally numbered 91 and 92 respectively. |

Like other shunters of this size, the Class 03 was built for light duties where a larger locomotive was not needed, especially for shunting at locomotive and carriage depots and as [[station pilot]]s, or where larger or heavier locomotives could not be used. The reduction over time in the demand for shunting locomotives meant that they were progressively withdrawn from 1968 onwards, many being sold to private industry. However, some remained in service much longer, with two examples on the [[Island Line, Isle of Wight|Isle of Wight]] lasting until 1993 |
The fleet of 230 locomotives entered service between December 1957 and June 1962.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=The Class 03 Diesel Shunter|first=Evan|last=Green-Hughes|magazine=Hornby Magazine|pages=74–75|issue=41|date=November 2010|location=Hersham|publisher=Ian Allan Publishing|issn=1753-2469|oclc=226087101}}</ref> Like other shunters of this size, the Class 03 was built for light duties where a larger locomotive was not needed, especially for shunting at locomotive and carriage depots and as [[station pilot]]s, or where larger or heavier locomotives could not be used.

During their later life, some locomotives were fitted with dual (air and vacuum) brakes. These were 03059, 03063, 03073, 03078, 03084, 03086, 03089, 03094, 03112, 03152, 03158, 03162, 03179, 03180, 03371, 03397 and 03399. |

Originally the Class 03s were often deployed where their attributes of short wheelbase and light weight enabled them to operate where other shunters could not. On lines such as that to [[Ipswich dock]]s, bridge weight restrictions prevented the ubiquitous [[British Rail Class 08|Class 08s]] from operating. Another common use was as station pilot, usually coupled to a shunters' truck to ensure operation of track circuits which did not always register the passage of the 03 due to its short wheelbase. |

| 03063 was released from Doncaster Work on 14 July 1959 originally as D2063, under Pre-TOPS, and was allocated to the York North (50A). The locomotive was then bequeathed to the Mid-Norfolk Railway in 2023 upon the passing of its owner, the late Paul Mobbs. It was moved to the MNR in November 2023. |

The British Rail Class 03 locomotive was, together with the similar Class 04, one of British Railways' most successful 0-6-0 diesel-mechanical shunters. 230 were built at Doncaster and Swindon works between 1957 and 1962, and were numbered D2000–D2199 and D2370–D2399 (later 03004 to 03399). D2370 and D2371 were used as departmental locomotives and originally numbered 91 and 92 respectively.
Overview
[edit]The fleet of 230 locomotives entered service between December 1957 and June 1962.[3] Like other shunters of this size, the Class 03 was built for light duties where a larger locomotive was not needed, especially for shunting at locomotive and carriage depots and as station pilots, or where larger or heavier locomotives could not be used. The reduction over time in the demand for shunting locomotives meant that they were progressively withdrawn from 1968 onwards, many being sold to private industry, including three that were exported to Belgium. However, some remained in service much longer, with two examples on the Isle of Wight lasting until 1993. Mainland examples had gone by 1989, the last being those allocated to Birkenhead North TMD, for use on the Birkenhead Dock Branch.[4]
In 1998, one of the Isle of Wight locos, 03179, was reinstated by the West Anglia Great Northern for service at Hornsey depot. It was named Clive after a depot employee.[5] It was not fitted with Train Protection & Warning System equipment and thus confined to the depot from 2002.[6] It was operated subsequently by First Capital Connect until withdrawal in 2008. In 2016 it was sold by Govia Thameslink Railway to the Rushden, Higham and Wellingborough Railway.[7][8][9]
Technical details
[edit]The engine is a Gardner 8-cylinder, 4-stroke 8L3 of 204 hp (152 kW) connected to a Wilson-Drewry CA5 R7, 5-speed epicyclic gearbox with RF11 spiral bevel reverse and final-drive unit. Drive is through a jackshaft mounted beneath the cab, driving the wheels through coupling rods.
During their later life, some locomotives were fitted with dual (air and vacuum) brakes. These were 03059, 03063, 03073, 03078, 03084, 03086, 03089, 03094, 03112, 03152, 03158, 03162, 03179, 03180, 03197, 03371, 03397 and 03399.
Operation
[edit]Shunting
[edit]Originally the Class 03s were often deployed where their attributes of short wheelbase and light weight enabled them to operate where other shunters could not. On lines such as that to Ipswich docks, bridge weight restrictions prevented the ubiquitous Class 08s from operating. Another common use was as station pilot, usually coupled to a shunters' truck to ensure operation of track circuits which did not always register the passage of the 03 due to its short wheelbase.
By 1979, Class 03s' operations included:[10]
- Depot pilot duties at Hull Botanic Gardens DMU depot and Bradford Hammerton Street DMU depot
- Docks at Ipswich, Kings Lynn, and Poplar, London
- Freight trips along the Team Valley branch (Gateshead) and the Gwendraeth Valley line
- Shunting duties at Boston Yard, Ipswich Upper and Lower yards, Lincoln engineers' yard, and Tweedmouth yard near Berwick-upon-Tweed
- Spare loco on standby at Boston and Kings Lynn
- Motive power on the Kirkley goods branch line in Lowestoft
- Station pilot duties at Bradford Exchange, Hull Paragon, Ipswich, Newcastle Central, Norwich Thorpe, and Sunderland
Passenger duties
[edit]Despite the limited scope for the use of such a small locomotive on main line passenger duties, there were a number of duties rostered to the class. During the early 1970s Southern Region Class 03s worked Channel Islands boat trains through the streets to the harbour along the Weymouth Harbour Tramway, displacing the last of the 1366 Class 0-6-0 pannier tanks.[11] In 1980, a Class 03 at Ipswich was booked to shunt the 23:20 Peterborough – Liverpool Street onto the rear of the 23:45 Norwich – Liverpool Street.[12] Also, according to Mangapps Railway Museum,[13] 03089 once hauled a Blackpool to Scarborough express along the York to Scarborough Line from Malton to Scarborough.
Burry Port & Gwendraeth Valley Line
[edit]Several examples were rebuilt with cut-down cabs for working on the Burry Port & Gwendraeth Valley Line, as there were several low bridges on the line that precluded the use of normal height locomotives.
The modified examples were nos. 03119, 03120, 03141, 03142, 03144, 03145, 03151, 03152 and late addition (ex-Bristol) 03382.[14] Their duties included shunting (for example at Burry Port), and hauling full coal trains down from the valley's pits. For this latter duty they sometimes worked triple-headed.
They were replaced by Class 08/9 locomotives, which were also rebuilt to a reduced height. Several cut-down locomotives have been preserved.
The Isle of Wight shunters, nos. 03079 and 03179, were also rebuilt with cut-down cabs, to enable them to pass through a low tunnel in Ryde.
Preservation
[edit]Fifty-six members of the class survive in preservation.

Model railways
[edit]Mainline Railways and Replica each offered OO gauge models.[81] Mainline Railways introduced their OO gauge Class 03s in 1983; one in BR green and 03382 in BR blue.[82] Mainline's original 'split-chassis' tooling later passed to Bachmann. When the company later took the decision to produce the Class 04 in its place the tooling was altered, retaining the split chassis power arrangement. However, Bachmann later announced that they would be producing a totally new Class 03 in OO gauge, which was introduced in 2010.[83] In early 2011, Modelzone released special edition examples of the Isle of Wight prototypes, which were produced by Bachmann.[84][85]
Graham Farish currently offers a British N gauge model.[86] Past models have included D2388 in BR green livery and 03066 in BR blue livery.[87]
In 2008, Bachmann introduced O gauge brass models of the Class 03 in BR green and BR blue liveries.[88] Heljan currently offer a model in O gauge (7mm), which is available in BR green or rail blue with chevrons.
