Class 24/1. TDB968009 was originally 24142 before being transferred from capital stock. It was used for carriage heating at Worcester where it is seen in July 1977. I probably was more interested in the GWR starting signal with route indicator, as the original slide is in vertical format. Photo by Michael Taylor, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Class 24/0. An unidentified class 24/0 pauses with a short goods train at the signal box in Towyn, Wales ( home of the Tallyllyn Railway) in June 1973. This train conveyed explosives in ex-GWR gunpowder vans and was one very strong argument for keeping this portion of the Cambrian Coast railway line open during BR's attempt to close it. The line stayed open due to the strong impact of the GGRyC. Photo by Michael Taylor, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. (mtaylor6@home.com) Website www.members.home.net/mtaylor6

Class 24. 24006 (background) while mostly intact, waits silently at Glasgow (St Rollox) works around October 1980 for the scrapman to come forward with his torch and apply the same fate wich has overcome Class 25 - 25009 (foreground) which only has it's underframe & bogies left intact. 24006 was the penultimate class 24 to be cut up (24142 being the last at a Sheffield scrapyard in 1984), however it was the last class 24 to be scrapped at a BR works.

Class 24 Bo-Bo 5071 (later 24071) at York Depot 12th May 1973 still in Green livery. These locomotives were called "Bo-Bo"s after the wheel arrangement. Class 24 were called "skinhead Bo-Bo'" by my circle of friends due to the lack of panel route indicators. Notice the blue Tops panel. Copyright - Kevin Ferguson
