45108_1978_05_Attenborough_A3_600dpi

            A rather grey May evening with 45108 working a Nottingham – St Pancras express past the gravel processing plant at Attenborough, 16th May 1978.

Locomotive History
45108 was originally D120 and was built at Crewe Works in 1961. It would be associated with the Midland Main Line for virtually all of its twenty six years of service. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and D120 was one of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works in June 1973 as 45108. In July 1987 45108 became derailed at Cricklewood and following re-railing was sent to Stratford for evaluation of the damage. With the class being rapidly withdrawn repair of the relatively minor damage was not sanctioned and 45108 was withdrawn on the 4th August 1987. 45108 would survive withdrawal to be purchased for preservation and can currently (May 2020) be found at the East Lancs Railway.
