Locomotive History
The most successful batch of Type 1 locos ordered under the Modernisation Plan were the English Electric Type 1, classified Class 20. The initial order of 1956 was for twenty locomotives; however, the design was an immediate success and, before all twenty were in traffic, an order was made for an additional thirty locomotives for delivery to the Eastern and Scottish Regions. 20030 was one of this batch of thirty locomotives entering service as D8030 in December 1959, allocated to Leith Central MPD before quickly moving on to Kittybrewster, Aberdeen. It would spend the next six years allocated to Kittybrewster until it closed and D8030 transferred to Haymarket. Evidence of its Scottish allocation is the recess in the cab for single line tablet exchange equipment. By the late 1960’s it was one of a small batch of class 20’s (8019/30-33/55-57) allocated to Stratford although by by the 1970’s this had reduced to 8030/55/56 retained as replacements for the Liverpool Street station pilot duties formally undertaken by two of the BTH class 15 locomotives. These were converted to class 08 duty in October 1971 and the three class 20’s left Stratford for York behind 5522 on the 2nd October 1971 with 8030/55 transferred to Scotland (Eastfield) and 8056 transferred to Tinsley. After four years in Scotland 20030 transferred to Toton in 1975. In 1982 20030 was one of a number of Toton vacuum braked class 20’s stored awaiting an improved financial climate to allow classified repair and dual brake fitment which was eventually undertaken at Crewe works during the summer of 1983. On release it transferred to Tinsley, spent a spell around 1988 allocated to Thornaby before returning to Toton from were it was withdrawn in October 1990. 20005 was originally D8005 and is one of the original batch of twenty class 20 locomotives built by English Electric in 1957. It would in service until July 1989. Both were broken up by MC Metals Glasgow in August 1991 and November 1990 respectively.

20070 leads 20005 into Wilford Road yard Nottingham, 29th June 1976. In the background is Nottingham Castle although the present building replaced the original castle in the 1660’s and is actually a stately home built for the Duke of Newcastle. The building was attacked and looted by rioters in 1831 following the Duke of Newcastle's opposition to parliamentary reform. The house was gutted internally by fire and the Duke as a rebuke to the people of Nottingham left the ruined building un-repaired for forty five years. Eventually the site was purchased by the City and in 1875 work commenced to repair the building and convert it to a municipal museum and art gallery, which was opened by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) in 1878.
Locomotive History
20070 was originally D8070 and was built by English Electric at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington, entering traffic in June 1961. It was allocated to Eastfield MPD for Scottish lowlands duties, particularly in the Forth-Clyde area, and the Fife coalfield and in common with most class 20’s initially allocated to Scotland has the cab recess for single line token exchange equipment. Transferred to Toton in May 1973 and apart from a very brief spell at Tinsley in 1986 followed by two years at Thornaby it would remain a Toton engine until withdrawn in April 1991. It was broken up in February 1992 by MC Metals, Glasgow. 20005 entered traffic in September 1957, was withdrawn in July 1989 and broken up during December 1990 by MC Metals, Glasgow.
