    Not really seen passing through Duffield on the Midland Mainline in the 1960's My excuse. "On test from Derby"wink.gif

     

     

    The cab roof not flush with the top of the short bonnet is an interesting 'error'. In photos that I have seen of the class in service the cab roof was flush, but there is a side-on photo of D8200 in the January 1958 RO and the cab roof is definitely not flush. The photo is credited to BTH so presumably taken before the loco entered traffic.

     

    I wonder if modifications were made to the cab height before the loco was officially delivered to BR, but Heljan have sourced the original drawings which did not include the modification?
