British Rail 15107 was a 0-6-0 diesel-electric shunter locomotive commissioned by the Great Western Railway from its Swindon Works, but delivered to British Railways after nationalisation. It had a Petter 4-cylinder engine. Its shed allocation in 1950 was Western Region, 82B, St Philip's Marsh, Bristol.^[1]

Number 15107 had a short life and never acquired a British Railways classification. It was withdrawn in June 1958 and broken up at Swindon.^[2]
