david elr Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Can anyone remember or point me in the right direction for the the dates and which works the 'LM 5' were fitted with dual brakes prior to the ongoing DB fitting that started in 1969? (first one being 274 in 4/69) Locos were D370, D371, D377, D378, D380. If it helps:- I have D370/1/7 all at Doncaster in 3/64 (and D377 at Swindon Works for a couple of weeks later in March 64)- testing?? D380 was at Doncaster in 4/64 but cannot see D378 anywhere at that period. If anyone can help dlayland(AT)blueyonder.co.uk replacing (AT) with @ Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Photo by Nick Brown : 40 009, the last vac only example, at Crewe Works on 10th May 1980... Two years later it came a cropper when standing in for a failed 08 on the Rugby to Bilton Sidings daily trip job, nobody had checked to see if 40s were allowed into the Cement Works sidings and it came off the road on the sharp curve whilst propelling loaded coal wagons over Parkfield Road level crossing.
