1972. 125 is at Derby Works around 8/12/72, its release date after having a new No 2 end fitted following collision damage in early autumn. The loco will have had a test run from Derby to Leicester piloting 1M51 0801 Manchester - St Pancras, standard practice at this time.The unfortunate 125 would be the first Peak to have the next major change to the front end design.

1978. BR took the decision that the displaying of train reporting numbers in the headcode panels would cease from 1st January 1976. 125 spent over a year in Derby Works being repaired after a tragic accident in October 1974 and was chosen as the first Peak to have headcode panels removed in favour of marker lights. The loco emerged on 31/12/75, as 45 071, just in time for the headcode discontinuation. Uniquely, the loco was fitted with the type of light fitted to class 20 behind their front end discs, and also kept the bracketry at the top end of the nose. Seen at Derby on 1st February 1978, here is 45 071, as photographed by Mike Kerry.
