24 009 was new to traffic in March 1959 as D5009 and spent most of its service life at a number of depots around England. It was allocated to Eastfield Depot in March 1971 but was sent to Haymarket to be stored in September of 1975. It was officially withdrawn in July 1976.

 

27 105 was new to traffic as D5388 in May 1962 and spent its first six years in service based in the English midlands. In the early 1970s it was transferred to Eastfield Depot and fitted with dual (vacuum and air) brakes for work on the (then) newly introduced Class 27 E&G push-pull services. It was reclassified 27 105 in January 1973.

 

The locomotive was renumbered 27 049 in August 1983 and withdrawn in April 1987.
