FMcslides2203 D1108 at Heck
The label on this slide read D1108 trundles up the GN Main at Heck with D3234 and E59231 en route to Donny Works on the 31st January 1974, so we will go with that!
D1108 was new to York North from Crewe Works in January 1967. It became 47525 under tops and we think it was withdrawn by EWS in May 1998 and was dumped at Carnforth for years before being cut up at EMR Kingsbury in 2010.
Still a York loco in the late 70's it was known to the local bashers as Deltic 23 and could more than trundle!
D3234 was new to BR as 13234 in at Hull Dairycoates in January 1956 and withdrawn as 08166 in July 1982 as vacuum braked only, we think it was a Hull Botanic Gardens loco at this time.
E59231 was a Class 104 centre trailer dating from December 1958 and withdrawn in March 1981.
