...The marker panels carrying 55015's Rainhill plaques have already been removed, though the Finsbury Park white-windows are still evident, in this view of 55015 at Doncaster Works on Saturday 27th February 1982. BR attempted to sell the locomotive via an auction at Christies in London in December 1982, however, the locomotive failed to raise the reserve price and it wasn't until January 1984 that it found its way into preservation via Mr. Peter Sansom. 55015 was later sold to the Deltic Preservation Society in August 1987.
