Looking very smart in its original black livery with red buffer beams and coupling rods, Class 04 11215 (D2245) slowly approaches Market Bosworth, on the Battlefield Line with the 14:00 Shackerstone to Shenton service on 10 March 1996 during the line's Diesel Gala. Introduced in November 1956, this loco was originally allocated to Neville Hill, later moving briefly to Selby, before transferring to York in 1959. In 1967 it moved to Goole, from where it was finally withdrawn on 28 December 1968. It was initially preserved at the Derwent Valley Light Railway before moving to the Battlefield Line in 1978. |
