20157_1977_10_Stapleford_A3_600dpi

            A grey and misty October morning in 1977 finds me on the approach road to Toton MPD and being overtaken by 20157 and 20082 light engine, 16th October 1977.

As a 35mm Kodachrome 64 colour transparency this shot did not have a lot going for it and was lucky to have avoided the waste paper bin forty odd years ago, even by my rather less demanding 1977 quality standards, This is another one of my less successful efforts that has been salvaged somewhat by converting to black and white.

Locomotive History
20157 was originally D8157 and is one of the later batch of class 20’s built in 1966/67. It entered traffic in September 1966, allocated to D16, Nottingham Division which was effectively Toton and was withdrawn from Toton twenty four years later in October 1990 having (as far as I can tell) been a Toton engine all its life. It was broken up at MC Metals, Glasgow during May 1992.
