D4067 at NCB Nailstone
BR built a variant of the class 08 with Lister Blackstone engines and GEC traction motors and gave them the class 10. Soon deemed as non-standard, all 146 were withdrawn by 1972 when a number were sold to private industry to replace steam locos.
D4067 was bought by the NCB and used in Kent before transfer north to Nailstone Colliery in Leicestershire in 1976 where it was photographed on 6th April 1978. Into the sun with an Instamatic !
The following year it was sold into preservation at the Great Central Railway where it since gained the fictitious number 10119 but has recently reverted to this NCB livery.
