45126_1978_03_Loughborough

            Just south of Loughborough station 45126 (in need of a fresh coat of yellow paint) heads for St Pancras with a Midland Main Line express, 18th March 1978. On the right is the connection for the Midland to the Great Central cord that was built in the early 1970’s. This allowed the Gypsum works at Hotchley Hill, East Leake to be served from the south and the remains of the Great Central northwards to Nottingham (with the reversal at Weekday Cross) to be closed. Behind this is the Brush Falcon works birthplace a of several hundred diesel locomotives bought by British Railways between 1958 and 1992.

Locomotive History
45126 was originally numbered D32 being was built at Derby works and entered traffic in June 1961, allocated to Derby MPD. Three months later it transferred to Leeds Neville Hill before transferring across the city to Leeds Holbeck in December 1962. In August 1968 it transferred to the Nottingham Division (Toton) for a four year spell before returning to Holbeck in September 1972. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and it 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). It emerged from Derby works in May 1974, renumbered 45126 and allocated to Toton for Midland Main Line duties. It would remain at Toton for the next twelve years until the surviving class 45/1 locomotives were all transferred to Tinsley in November 1986. The summer 1987 timetable saw the end of diagrammed class 45 passenger duties on the Midland Main Line and Trans-Pennine routes and resulted in significant class 45 withdrawals in April and May 1987. 45126 was one of these locomotives being condemned in April 1987. Following withdrawal it was dumped at March until in 1989 six “Peaks” (45111/25/26/36/46/48) were taken from the dump at March and towed in two batches to Egginton to be used as dead-load vehicles by the Research Department at Mickleover. Eventually three years later 45126 had made its way to MC Metals at Glasgow, were it was broken up in April 1992.
