08540_1976_07_York_A3_600dpi

            York station pilot 08540 on the 31st July 1976 rests between duties.

A rather mediocre forty three year old Kodachrome 64 colour transparency that I cannot scan and edit into a reasonable colour image, with the best I can manage being this black and white version. 

Locomotive History 
08540 was originally D3704 and was a product of Darlington works, entering traffic in June 1959 allocated to Hornsey MPD. Its stay at Hornse was short and it transferred to Finsbury Park in April 1960. Its next move was to Hitchen in March 1969 and in the summer of 1971 it received a classified repair at which it was fitted with dual brakes. On release in August 1971 it was transferred to Neville Hill. It transferred to York in January 1976 and stayed for the next eleven years until transfer to March in August 1987. It had a two year spell at Cambridge from January 1988 before returning to March before transfer to Toton in March 1994. After forty five years service it was withdrawn in April 2004 and finally broken up during August 2010 by EMR at Kingsbury.
