Then & Now 1973 – 2013 This series aims to show locos as they were in 1973 and as they are now in 2013. Typically for the first loco (photo provided by James Holloway of D3956) I didn’t have an up to date photo though nothing has changed since 2008. If anyone has a good 1973 photo they wish to feature please let me know. If you haven’t got a current one I will find one...hopefully. then - D3956 Tyseley Depot, 24 th June 1973, now - 08788 Inverness Depot, 11 th December 2008 note the added air compressor box fitted between the oil tank and battery box 18
