British Rail HS4000

HS4000, named ''Kestrel'', was a prototype high-powered mainline diesel locomotive built in 1967 by Brush Traction, Loughborough as a technology demonstrator for potential future British Rail and export orders.〔(Recognition and Equipment information, HS4000 ) ''therailwaycentre.com''〕 The locomotive number is a combination of the initials of Hawker Siddeley (the owners of Brush Traction) and the power rating of its Sulzer diesel engine (4000 HP).〔
It was of Co-Co wheel arrangement and was fitted with a Sulzer 16LVA24 engine rated at providing a maximum speed of and weighed 133 tonnes. It was painted in a livery of yellow ochre with a broad chocolate-brown band around the lower bodyside separated by a thin white line running around the body.
==Background and design==
In the mid 1960s British rail produced specifications for type 5 locomotives weighing less than 126t with more than of power for both passenger and freight working.〔(THE RAILWAY RAPTORS ) ''section'' HS4000 KESTREL ''glostransporthistory.visit-gloucestershire.co.uk''〕 Brush Electric Engineering Ltd. (''Brush Traction'') in association with Sulzer Brothers Ltd. responded with a locomotive for British Rail's appraisal. The design principle was that a single engine would require less maintenance than twin-engined vehicles, and that the very high power would mean that double heading for freight trains would be unnecessary.〔
