D8327 was the final example of 228 Bo-Bo locomotives (later reclassified Class 20) constructed by English Electric's Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows between 1957 and 1968. It was one of the Class fitted with slow-speed working equipment for operation of the MGR (merry-go-round) coal trains from new, which allowed the locomotive to run through a power station at constant low speed for unloading.D8327 was reallocated to Edinburgh's Haymarket Depot on 1st March 1969, and, with the introduction of the TOPS numbering scheme, the locomotive was renumbered to No. The locomotive was one of a handful to receive BR Railfreight Grey livery during the mid-1980s, before being reallocated to Eastfield (ED) in May 1988.
