English Electric Type 1

The Class 20’s were introduced by British Railways in 1957, and a total of 228 locomotives were built by English Electric between 1957 and 1968, originally numbered D8000-D8199 and D8300-D8327. No D8110 was built in English Electric’s Robert Stephenson Hawthorn factory at Darlington, entering service in January 1962.
After completion, D8110 was first allocated to Eastfield depot in Glasgow, and still retains its automatic token catcher recess from its time spent on the West Highland Railway. Having been based in Scotland for almost the whole time between 1962 and 1986, it then moved south to England, being based at Tinsley, Immingham, Toton and Bescot, before being retired by BR in September 1990.
