== D3802 in main line service ==
D3802 was built at Derby Works and entered BR service in December 1959 (the locomotive never received a number in the 13xxx range). D3586 D3802 was initially allocated to Stoke, but during the 1960s also saw service at Crewe South, Crewe Diesel, Ryecroft (Walsall) and Chester (Midland).
D3802’s travels continued in the 1970s with moves to Holyhead and Cricklewood East. In January 1974 D3802 became No 08635 under the TOPS numbering scheme, before a final move to Saltley in 1979. There the locomotive remained until withdrawn from service in February 2007 after a working life of more than 47 years.<ref>[http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=locodata&type=D&id=3802&loco=08635 BRDatabase website]</ref>
