Class 50 50013 'Agincourt' undergoing major refurbishment at Doncaster Works open day
Sat. 28th Jul 1984 Doncaster Works open day , This was the scene in the main hall at the Doncaster Works open day in 1984, with 50013 'Agincourt' part-way through it's refurbishment and overhaul, and a couple of Brush 2s {Class 31s] under overhaul in the distance. Plenty of crowds as per usual for a works open day :), , Amazing to think that barely four years later 50013 'Agincourt' was withdrawn, on 06 April 1988, after 20 years of service, and the locomotive was cut up on site the following year at Old Oak Common by Vic Berry's of Leicester - one of eleven Class 50s to end their days on Old Oak Common shed., , Locomotive History, D413 entered service 09-Mar-68, Renumbered 50013 in 1974, Named 'Agincourt' 19-Apr-78, Withdrawn 06-Apr-88, , 50013 'Agincourt' was one of the very early casualties, being the fourth Class 50 to be withdrawn, on 06 April 1988 after being in storage since 13th March 1988 with fire damage. The locomotive languished at Old Oak Common for another year, before being broken up on site by Vic Berry's in June 1989, along with crash-damaged 50025 'Invincible' and 50038 'Formidable'., , More details on the fate of each of the Class 50s here: www.fiftyfund.org.uk/names_and_numbers.htm, , Taken with a Zenith TTL SLR camera and standard lens.
