Locomotive History
08069 was built at Derby works twenty seven years earlier in 1954 as 13084 and became D3084 in the 1957 renumbering scheme. For the first eleven or so years it was allocated to my home shed Nottingham MPD until transferred to Crewe South in March 1966 moving to Crewe Diesel when Crewe South closed in November 1967. Shortly after in January 1968 it transferred to Landudno Junction moving to to Chester in February 1972 when Landudno lost its allocation.In November 1973 it transferred to Holyhead before transfer to Birkenhead in August 1974 where it remained until April 1977 when it transferred back to Chester. In July 1982 it transferred to Carlisle Kingmoor where it was withdrawn a few months later in February 1983. It would end its days at Doncaster Works being broken up in March 1984.
