DHP1, meaning Diesel Hydraulic Prototype number 1 was a short-lived protoype locomotive of the Type 3 power range built by Clayton in 1965. It was designed for mixed traffic work, being equipped with steam heating facilities for working passenger trains.

Visually similar to their Class 17 Type 1 product, through longer, it was similarly unsuccessful and was scrapped where it was built having done very little work, mainly for British Rail in a limited area around Derby.
