Class 14s at Loughborough - a photo on Flickriver

            A pair of Class 14 diesels, with BR numbers D9516 and D9523, at Loughborough Central on 27 October 1985. Judging from my notebook entries for this day there appears to have been a "Class 14 and shunters" event on this day, as D4067 and "14029" (BR number D9529) were also noted working here.

D9516 was built at Swindon and was new in October 1964. After a very short working life it was withdrawn from service in April 1968 and was sold to BSC for further work at Corby steelworks, arriving there in November 1968 - see below. It was out of use at Corby by December 1980 and moved into preservation at the GCR in October 1981. 

D9523 was new from Swindon in December 1964. It was also withdrawn in April 1968 and also moved to Corby for further use in December 1968. Like D9516 it moved into preservation at the GCR on October 1981.

In 2023 D9516 can be found at Didcot Railway Centre while D9523 is at the Wenseydale Railway.
