...55002 (D9002) "THE KING'S OWN YORKSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY"
would emerge from Doncaster Works during December 1980, refinished in original
two-tone green livery, and would enjoy celebrity status for its remaining twelve
months in service, prior to its preservation at the National Railway Museum at
York.
Note: the snag sheet visibly taped to the locomotives side stated the loco
required a replacement load regulator at one end - this was sourced from the
withdrawn locomotive 55020 (D9020) "NIMBUS"...
