45 114 - D94
1963. The aftermath of the horrific collision at 1 32am between D94 hauling the previous evening Leeds - Leicester freight and a Toton - Woodhouse Mill freight which was crossing the lines in front of it. Sadly, the driver and second man on the loco were killed. The loco was repaired, re-entering traffic in September the following year. 06/12/1963
photographer unknown.
1979. 45 114 arrives at Chesterfield on 15/09/1979 working 1M79 1500 Sheffield - St Pancras to Nottingham. The livery, applied during an E exam at Toton, was unique to this loco.
photo Dale Green.
1982. "45 114 waits to depart from Plymouth with 'The Cornishman' 1E21 1021 Penzance - Bradford Exchange on the 23rd January 1982. Looks like the loco has just coupled up as the rear of the 45114 is drawing the attention of platform staff and train crew. The train was brought into Plymouth by 50019 & 50001. This train was load 8 and non-stop to Exeter St Davids. I regularly timed trains and on this occasion asterisked the run in my notebook as being a storming 55 minutes and 25 seconds. What a beast 45114 was and I am not the only one to think that."
photo and words, Clive Smith.
1984. "45 114 passes Lenton South Jct with 1C24 1305 Nottingham - St Pancras on a dank and dismal 26/02/1984.

45 115 - D81
1961. D81 seen at St Pancras in early 1961. The loco is believed to have entered traffic without the OHE flashes, but has acquired them by this stage.

1967. After arrival at Cardiff with 1V79 0725 from York, D81 is about to shunt the train across platforms for the return departure hauled by a class 47 on this occasion. 09/05/1967.
photo Robert Masterman.
1974. 45 115 is seen during a nine month stint in Derby Works after an accident at Buxton in November 1974. This end would receive an integral centre panel to replace the box headcodes.

1973. Not long before entering Derby Works for conversion to ETH loco 45 116, D47 is seen arriving at Derby on 1E26 1205 St Pancras - Sheffield in 1973. The loco carried the D prefix through until receiving the TOPS number.

1986. 45 116 at St.Pancras on 1D54 1635 to Nottingham on 22/09/1986.
photo Graham Carlson.
45 117 - D35
1962. D35 and coaches breast the top of Lickey at Blackwell. The working is possibly for crew training given the number of people in the cab, and lack of train reporting number. Given the condition of the loco, I suspect this is Spring 1962, with leaves on the trees, so possibly just before the June timetable change...I doubt it is the previous Summer as the loco only entered traffic on 30/06/61 allocated to Derby...on 19/08/61 it was reallocated to 82A Bristol Bath Road, the shedplate seen on the photo attesting to this.
photographer unknown, permission being sought.
1984. 45 117 at rest on York depot. 01/09/1984

1986. 45 117 arriving at Malton with 1M26 1255 Scarborough - Bangor.

Anthony F Cole, courtesy Andy Cole.
1980. 45 118 THE ROYAL ARTILLERYMAN runs into Leicester passed "those" signals on a morning Sheffield - St Pancras service on 02/07/1980. One of the last to lose the dominoes, this happened om entering Derby Works the following month, despite that shiny nose.
photo Dale Green.
1983. 1E73 1737 Cardiff - Leeds at Gloucester on 22/01/1983. Every member of the class 45/1s is known to have worked this train.
photo Clive Smith.
1987. Just shy of eighteen years after recording D67 as his first ever haulage, from Derby to Scarborough, in July 1969, Trevor Dorrington captures a nameplate-less 45 118 THE ROYAL ARTILLERYMAN on platform 2B at Derby with the TPO vans to be shunted onto the rear of 1V97 1615 Newcastle - Bristol TM on 07/04/1987. Trev was getting his priorities right, with his wife having just gone into labour!! Note also the orange cantrail stripe, Snail logo above the number, and high intensity headlight.
45 119 - D34
1967. D34 on arrival at Cardiff General with 1V70 0724 York - Cardiff on 08/05/1967. The loco is still in lined Brunswick Green livery with small yellow ends, and still devoid of taillight grabrails. OHE flashes are in standard positions and the loco is still carrying a shedplate. Boiler grill and steps remain unplated.
Photo Bob Masterman.
1986. 45 119 arrives at Derby on the 11th May 1986 with the Skirl of the Pipes railtour which it had worked from Polmadie via Middlesbrough & Hull as far as Birmingham. It then returned straight back to Newcastle on the Poole - Newcastle & the following day worked back to Birmingham on the Newcastle - Poole!
Photo and words John Goodale.
45 120 - D107
1962. D107, the last loco built with box headcodes, at Derby Works in early 1962. The loco is wearing a 17A shedplate, unusual as Derby MPD often didn't fit them. The loco was reallocated away from Derby on 24/03/1962, so this photo is before that.
photographer unknown.
