            The one and only D1 aka 44001 Scafell Pike stabled on Toton MPD in a shot rather marred by a chunk of discarded metal, 15th August 1976. 

Ten weeks later 44001 would be withdrawn and six months later would be no more.

Locomotive History
D1 was the first of the ten pilot scheme type 4 locomotives (D1 – D10) built at Derby in 1959. D1 officially entered traffic in August 1959 but had been out and about on test since April. Initially allocated to Camden it was loaned to Derby for Midland Main Line duties and was back on the West Coast Main Line by May 1960 when the ten locomotives were scattered up the West Coast for crew training, D1 at Longsight; D2 and D9 at Edge Hill; D3, D8 and D10 at Crewe; D5and 6 at Carlisle. This proved something of an odd move in light of the English Electric Type 4's (class 40) being the predominant diesel on the West Coast Main Line expresses and that the soon to be delivered more powerful Peaks (class 45/46) not allocated to the West Coast Main. During 1961 the gear ratio was changed from 61/17 to 57/22 bringing these locomotives in line with the newly appearing class 45 series locomotives and tractive effort was lowered from 70,000lb to 55,000lb. This change and other internal electrical changes helped reduced the number of flashovers to the traction motors when operating at high speeds and was completed on the whole class by the end of 1961. The ten locomotives were transferred in 1962 to Toton , for use on heavy freight duties in the East Midlands and the class no longer had need of their steam heating boilers which were removed as they went through works, with concrete ballast added to ensure even weight distribution. The now redundant water tanks remained on the locomotives. From 1962 until withdrawal the class 44's would be synonymous with Toton, in general only working to the limits of the route knowledge of Toton's goods train drivers and usually on out and back turns. Withdrawal of the class commenced with 44003 in 1976 and 44001 was the second to be withdrawn in October 1976 due to fire damage after failing in the Stoke area on 8L21, Toton – Garston. Its end came four months later being broken up by Derby Works during February 1977.
