55006 (D9006) "THE FIFE & FORFAR YEOMANRY" is seen within the maintenance shed at York TMD on the 14th February 1981. With its nameplates removed the loco was awaiting a tow to Doncaster for scrapping, following withdrawal six days earlier. There was little wrong with 55006 and, along with 55005, was switched off with minor faults due to pending classified repairs that were not going to be undertaken. 55006 was cut-up at Doncaster in July 1981.
