In its authentic British Railways green livery D1501 looks right hauling a set of blood and custard Mk. 1 stock. It is seen hauling the 12.50 Peterborough Nene Valley to Wansford service that appears to be well patronised by enthusiasts! The train is seen approaching Wansford passing the fixed distant and outer home signal near the end of Ailsworth Lane. As 47402 the locomotive was extensively damaged in a head-on collision with a DMU at Leeds on 06.09.77 that, unfortunately, killed both drivers.
