Transition Diesels to the Scrapheap

[Down_Under]

I thought I would start on post on a similar theme as discussed in "Death Steam" of pictures of transition diesels to the scrapheap - inspired by this picture of a C.16 enroute to the grave. Are there any more photos showing the movement of the transition classes enroute to the scrapheap?  

 

This photo shows that they were clearly not just moved in two's or three's like steam locomotives with brake vans in between.  

 

 

 

D8406 definitely bit the dust in GFYE:

The artwork for Looking back at Transition Diesels & Electrics to the Scrapyard is almost complete ironically to this posting and the title will be released early 2018 along with Looking back at Diesel Shunters and Looking back at First Generation DMUs , Seventies Spotting Days along the ECML and Seventies Spotting Days along the WCML which will all be on the same print run.

 

Before that we have a large format black & white title Steam and the Scrapyards due for late January/early February 2018 and four books dealing with the British Railways Standard Classes.
