...The loco pit is viewed at Doncaster Works on 2nd August 1981 containing one Deltic power unit (possibly the defective 448 from 55019) - all locos (with the exception of Deltics) were lifted into this pit to give sufficient clearance in order to lift their power units into/out of their engine rooms....
