DONCASTER WORKS - All manner of locomotives turned up at Doncaster Works for a variety of reasons. Seen here in 1959 is Class D2/1 NBL 0-4-0DM Shunter No.11702, built in 1954 by North British Loco Co. In 1957 it was renumbered to D2702 and withdrawn March 1967 from Goole, where no doubt it had seen use on the docks. Note the coupling rods on the running board. These locos could not be moved at even moderate speeds with the coupling in place for fear of the axles slipping.
