what is this? I would like as much info as possible,i have the B&O roadname
It’s a small four wheel industrial switcher, may or may not be based upon any prototype, as there are quite a few around like this. Is this the type of information you are looking for? “What is this” covers a lot of ground.

From the looks of those “buffers” it appears to be of European (German ?) prototype or based thereof.

I think it may be a Joeuf (french) or Lima (italian) made switcher decorated for British Rail - probably from the 1970s but here were a few European model similarly released. couplers are definitely European but the body may be derived from the “Plymouth” US switcher?

I think it may well be Lima, or possibly Jouef/Playcraft. The symbol on the side is the old British Rail one (known irreverently as “the arrow of indecision”) and the loco number is in the old BR style (D = diesel, then a stock number - there was also E = electric). The paint scheme and number is fictional - BR never owned a loco like this though it does look vaguely like some of their older small switchers. The coupler is the standard European loop type which to me suggests Lima - their early attempts on the UK market were to HO scale rather than OO, and a lot of equipment from their other European range was used. Hope this is of help!
It’s definitely European but my guess would be a Germanic line because of the ID #. The D would stand for Deutschebahn, I believe. I just hope I spelled it right since I lived there for two years. That would be embarrassing.
Matt is correct, the paintscheme is from British Railways.
Dale, if the loco would be from the Deutsche Bahn (it is definitely not) it would carry a “DB” on the side…
