45 122 - D11
1960. Publicity photo of D11 before entering traffic in October 1960. Note the recessed front end doors peculiar to this and D12 and OHE flashes. Also the longer door handles and boiler water flap in place.
1962. D11 is stabled at the north end of Doncaster station, an undated photo, but certainly no earlier than 1962 when the loco had the small yellow warning panels applied to the front end. The loco also has a shedplate on the second man side nose-end door, presumably for 55H Neville Hill, and also now has the taillight grabrails.
