08774 (Thornaby), 08114 (Doncaster) and 08396 (Kingmoor) stand in Bescot Down Storage Sidings in Spring 1980. All three had recently been released from Swindon Works and arrived at Bescot as a special freight, the brake-van of which is still attached. As per normal practise they'd be split up at Bescot and continue their journey home in the consist of scheduled freight trains.
Hundreds of shunting locos
made similar trips to and from Derby and Swindon Works during the 1970s and 1980s.
