FMCCSclrslides418 D5135 Chester

Difficult to put a date to this one as Class 24 D5135 survived in Green with a small yellow warning panel until 1972 (thanks to Derby Sulzers). Not sure either when it lost the D prefix.

Location as you can see is Chester and the loco is about to head South or East with a freight service.

New to Longsight in October 1960 from Derby Works the loco was withdrawn as 24135 from Crewe in January 1976 and cut up at Swindon in July 1977.
