20 023 on test at BREL Derby Works. 1985.
20 023 is seen wired up outside the locomotive test house at Derby Locomotive Works. The loco had been in for a general overhaul from its home shed of Tinsley but after release back to traffic it was allocated to Toton TMD. It was also the first of the class to be outshopped in the new BR Railfreight livery of Red, Yellow and Grey so this shot would be its final days in BR blue before a visit to the paint shop on site., , The loco was one of a small batch with modified brake valves for working the lime trains from Tunstead in pairs and went into the class 20/3 sub fleet in April 1986 being renumbered to 20 301 but this renumbering was short lived and by November of the same year it had reverted to 20 023. The remainder of its working life saw the loco based at Toton TMD in the East Midlands and it was withdrawn on 17/05/91 eventually being moved to M.C. Metals scrapyard at Springburn and cut up in April 1992.
