Baguely-Drewry built a variety of narrow gauge industrial shunting locomotives through the 1970s and 1980s. The locomotives were fitted with powerful diesel motors with high torque and a low speed ratio. Many were used by the Ministry of Defence and RNAD for use on military complexes and some were used at factory complexes and field railway sites.
