Class 11, but numbers began with 12 edit

Why? 59.148.180.109 (talk) 05:54, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Because the numbers were not in the TOPS scheme (which wasn't introduced until the early 1970s) but in the 1948 scheme, under which all diesels were numbered between 10000 snd 17999. The block 12000-12999 was allotted to ex-LMS diesel shunters, plus those of LMS design built after nationalisation. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:27, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
