Miscellaneous updates. It was a Harry Needle loco I think? I'm checking
== 13201 in main line service ==
The locomotive was built at Derby Works and entered BR service in December 1955 as number '''13201''', being initially allocated to Polmadie (Glasgow). In 1960 it was renumbered '''D3201''' by BR. During the 1960s D3201 saw moves to other Scottish sheds at Hamilton (West), Corkerhill and Ayr, before a move south , allocated to Lincoln in October 1968. It was reportedly more or less permanently outbased at Spalding, with most exams undertaken by fitters sent there by van and visits back to Lincoln only made for major exams.
In October 1973 D3201 received its final number from BR, becoming No '''08133''' under the TOPS numbering scheme. The locomotive remained at allocated to Lincoln until withdrawn from service in September 1980.<ref>[http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=D&id=3201&loco=08133 BRDatabase website]</ref>
After withdrawal by BR, it was photographed at Swindon works in 1981. 13201 saw industrial service with Sheerness Iron & Steel, where it was numbered 1.<ref>[http://www.uklocos.com/final-results.asp?action=display&Id=5569 UKLocos.com]</ref>
