1965 - New Paint, at Crewe..
Freshy-painted BR Type 1 D8024 outside the paint shops at Crewe works, in summer 1965. On the left are two North British 0-4-0 diesels, which appear to be in use as works shunters..
D8024 later became 20024, and was withdrawn in May 1977 and scrapped in March 1978. Several of the class have been preserved, and some are still in regular use by UK rail operators.
Restored from a grainy original..
