In 1976 Grantham still warranted a pilot engine (outstationed from Lincoln MPD) for shunting the yards and 08277 is seen here on the 19th March 1976 heading for the Down yard.

Locomotive History
08277 was originally 13347 and was built at Derby works entering traffic in May 1957, allocated to Dundee MPD. Under the 1957 renumbering scheme it became D3347 although it did not actually receive this number until January 1961. In November 1968 it transferred to Lincoln. In the 1960’s and 70’s Lincoln was home to around sixty DMU’s (class 114 and 105 two car sets) and a surprisingly large number of shunting engines. 08277 survived at Lincoln until November 1981 when it was withdrawn and was eventually dispatched to Doncaster Works where it was broken up in July 1983.
