FMCbwnegs 004 D5111 Newcastle

Unfortunately can't date this one exactly but as Class 24 D5111 still has the D prefix then the latest would be 1969 as the prefixes were removed from October 1968 onwards.

The loco was one of the batch at Gateshead to work Consett to Tyne Dock Iron Ore trains but is seen here passing behind Newcastle Central station with just a brake van.

The loco was new to Gateshead in November 1960 and stored serviceable at Millerhill from October 1975 until it was withdrawn in February 1976.
