D818, D832 & D7029, on display, Swindon Works turntable A veritable hydraulic gathering around Swindon works' turntable. To the left D818 'Glory' (withdrawn 01.11.72), in the centre D832 'Onslaught' (withdrawn 16.12.72, now preserved on the East Lancashire Railway) and to the right D7029 (withdrawn 28.02.75, now in the care of the DTG at the SVR). Whilst two of these locomotives have made it into preservation D818 was eventually cut up in 1985 after being reduced to a shell and just prior to the clearance of the works in preparation for its tragic closure. Of interest in the foreground is a 'door to door' Conflat A wagon - many hundreds of which were built by Swindon works during the 1950s.
