   1977. 45 015 on the Test House at Derby Works, 08/02/1977. The headcode panel remains in situ, albeit with dominoes, at a time when most locos were receiving marker lights. More than likely, this was due to less corrosion, as these panels were fitted at refurb in the late sixties.

photo Simon Renshaw.  

       1978. 45019 was fitted with a non standard panel at No 2 end after incurring damage to its already bedominoed specimen. Believed to have been fitted at York , the replacement was two class 47/55 style marker lights and a red painted surround. The first record we have of this arrangement is 21/3/78 and it was still like this on 2/9/78 when approaching Abbotswood Junction with 1E22 1000 Newquay - Newcastle.

       1968.  D26 at Bristol Temple Meads having arrived from the north with D101 in June 1968. The incorrect headcode suggests D101 may have failed. D26 is six months or so away from being the only class 45 to wear a full yellow end on lined Brunswick Green livery. Note D101 is in Toton Blue livery from summer 1966, with no BR emblem and small yellow panels.

photo Kevin Auger.  

        1969. Though not 100% confirmed this is believed to be D26 making a rare appearance on a coal train in the Welsh Valleys, January 1969. The loco is believed to be the only lined Brunswick Green liveried class 45 to sport a full yellow nose end.

 1967. D60 Lytham St Annes at Derby on or around 11/07/1967. The first class 45 to go through the refurbishment programme, the loco is sporting the new central headcode panel and bottom grille on the bodyside. Also , D60 was the first of either production series to receive air brakes, as seen by the air reservoir slung below the battery boxes and the extra pipe on the drivers side of the coupling hook.
