D3053 at Doncaster Works 1975
Withdrawn Class 08 D3053 is seen awaiting the inevitable inside Doncaster works during 1975.
D3053 was new as 13053 to Crewe South shed in December 1959, it was allocated TOPS number 08040 which it never carried, being withdrawn from Bletchley shed in 1973. It was broken up at Doncaster in October 1975.
Missing a wheelset and its fuel tank, my notes tell me that its cab was later used to repair 08551!
