Locomotive History
Following the failure of the class 17 Claytons British Rail returned to its initial Type 1 design and ordered another hundred class 20 locomotives from English Electric. 20160 is one of this later batch of class 20’s built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry. It entered traffic in September 1966 and was allocated new to the Nottingham Division (in reality Toton). Apart from its final two months before withdrawal in December 1990 when it was allocated to Bescot it was a Toton engine all its life. It was broken up by MC Metals, Glasgow during May 1994.
