    1968. D13 approaches Matlock on 5th May 1968 working 1C67 Manchester - St Pancras. Now in Br Blue, the loco still has the end doors, albeit welded, and headcode boxes, plus two OHE flashes, shorter door handrails and taillight grabrails.

    1973. D13 entered Derby Works on 05/04/1973 and was  quickly deemed unsuitable for conversion to an ETH 45/1, and thus became the first 45/0 in the new TOPS numbering on leaving Works on 27/04/1973. The loco is seen here at St Pancras prior to departure with 1D14 1650 to Nottingham on 19/05/1973.

 1975. Showing a wrong headcode, 45 002 runs 1A69 0835 Penzance - Paddington past Moorswater on 13/03/75. The loco probably worked 1V92 Edinburgh - Plymouth the day before, then possibly the down newspapers from Plymouth to Penzance overnight. These trains were regular Peak workings at this time. Note the two loco numbers, the only box headcode 45/0 to be adorned as such.

            1977. 1V71 The Cornishman from Leeds to Penzance glides away from Liskeard at Moorswater in the charge of 45 008, probably attached at Plymouth. The loco is carrying the 0000 headcode as interim measure before having dominoes applied later in the year. Note, also, the small disc below the headcode which covered the hole drilled to accommodate communication equipment when the loco worked the Royal Train earlier in its life.

  1981. Perhaps, the Greatest Bellow of All Time???  Steve Miles aka "Trowbridge" shows his appreciation for 45 010 from the rear cab as it powers the Paignton - Oxley ecs along the Sea Wall on 20/06/1981. 010 was a favourite among the Peak fraternity and looks fantastic, here, in its final guise.

1963. This undated photo of D12, believed to be at Saltley MPD, shows the loco with the added yellow warning panel and the recess, fitted only to D11 and D12, on the nose-end doors prominent. Also note the taillight grabrail which wasn't present when built. The photo is later than 15/09/1962 when the loco was reallocated to Cricklewood East. This shed didn't add the allocation shedplate to the loco, so the bolts from a previously fitted plate are visible on the left hand nose-end door. The OHE flash is lower than on D11.

1970. On 30/07/1970, 12 heads north from Cheltenham with 6E67 2000 Gloucester - Tyneside freight.
