In 1977 Newark still warranted a yard pilot engine (outstationed from Lincoln MPD) for shunting both the ex Great Northern and Midland yards. When not in use the pilot was normally stabled behind Newark Northgate station on the down side and on the 5th March 1977 Lincoln allocated 08277 could be found there.

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 and was present on Lincoln MPD when I visited on the 27th July 1969. 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. Also on shed with D3347 on that day in 1969 were two class 03 (2024/26), one class 08 (3533), seven class 10 (3613/14/18/19, 4061/65/75), one class 25 (7502) and two class 37 (6809/15). 08277 survived at Lincoln until November 1981 when it was withdrawn and was eventually dispatched to Doncaster works where it was broken up in July 1983.
