Bristol Temple Meads, May 1978
The Bridgnorth to Kingswear Severn Valley Limited, composed of the SVR restored GWR rake, departs from Bristol Temple Meads behind Brush Type 4 No. 47086 COLOSSUS and meets BR Sulzer Type 4 No. 45025 arriving with the 08:13 Plymouth - Leeds on 6th May 1978., , 45025 was built at Derby works as D19, entering traffic in December 1960 and would spend the majority of its career allocated to Leeds Holbeck MPD. It is one of the class fitted with the distinctive split headcode boxes each side of the gangway doors. D11 – D15 were delivered fitted with the gangway doors however it was then decided to omit the gangway doors and consequently D16 –D30 and D68 – D107 were delivered with the doors no longer incorporated into the nose, but the headcode boxes still on the outside edges of the nose front. Eventually the design was modified and the remaining Peak locomotives had the headcode boxes in the centre of the nose. 45025 was an early class 45 casualty being withdrawn in May 1981 and broken up at Derby works in November of that year.
