D9553 and D9539 Toddington

            In July 2024 D9553 was star of the show at the 14s@60 gala at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, completing a mammoth 350 mile journey from the Caledonian Railway to join six fellow Class 14s. Having worked very little in the preceding years, it generated a lot of "red pen action" for haulage enthusiasts. Back in 1995, the Class 14 was resident on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway with sister D9539, and are pictured hauling a demonstration freight into Toddington during the summer diesel week. Note the extra headlamps on the bonnet and warning lights on the roof from it's time in industrial use. 20137, still wearing ex-BR Railfreight red stripe livery, can be seen on the right.

D9553 stopped being used at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, and eventually moved the Vale of Berkeley Railway at Sharpness, before transfer to Scotland. D9539 is now based at the Ribble Steam Railway in Preston.
