45 141 - D82
1964. D82 heads 4E30, a northbound van train, through Kentish Town in 1964. The only known member of the class to receive a larger yellow front end panel, the loco is yet to receive its taillight grabrails and still has longer handrails by the driver's door. At Classified Repair in 1966, the loco reverted to a small yellow panel, being released on 22/03.
photographer unknown.
1966. With the small yellow warning panel back to standard size, D82 is seen arriving at Derby on 03/09/1966 working 1S64 the northbound "Waverley" 0905 St Pancras - Edinburgh.

1968. D83 at the head of 8X53 0500 Heaton - Coatbridge conveying withdrawn NER Tyneside electric EMU's on their final journey on 06/02/1968. Looking like a standard BR blue liveried loco, the lack of BR emblem, plus the numbers on the cabsides gives away that it is a "Toton Blue" loco, albeit with full yellow ends, the only loco to carry this particular colour scheme.

45 146 - D66
1986. Five minutes from departure is 45 146 on the 1945 St Pancras - Derby on 16/02/1986. Crewe Works's strange decision on number placement, only one BR emblem, and the high intensity headlight do nothing for the aesthetics of the loco.
